Default iked support for ECDSA keys

I successfully have IKEv2 working with iked using RSA keys and X.509 certificates and CAs. However, when I try to use ECDSA keys instead of RSA, I get:

Code:
# iked -dvv
ca_key_serialize: unsupported key type 408
fatal: ca: failed to serialize private key
ikev2 exiting
ikev1 exiting
Looking at the offending source code in /usr/src/sbin/iked/ca.c, the CA portion will only recognizes RSA keys.

Are there any plans to support ECDSA keys in iked. Other daemons like sshd already support ECDSA keys.

I'm currently running 5.2-stable, but 5.3-current has same issue.

Thanks.

This is a community of users. Questions for developers regarding future plans for software should be asked on the misc@ mailing list, or by emailing the developers directly. In this case, Reyk Floeter (reyk@) is the author and does most, if not all, of the commits.

Correction. Reyk only does most of the commits. Mike Belopuhov (mikeb@) is his co-developer.

Both are active on misc@.
