Introduction

OpenHIP is a free, open source implementation of the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) for use on multiple operating systems.

From the HIP base specification: 

   The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) provides a rapid exchange of Host
   Identities between two hosts.  The exchange also establishes a pair
   IPsec Security Associations (SA), to be used with IPsec Encapsulated
   Security Payload (ESP).  The HIP protocol is designed to be
   resistant to Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Man-in-the-middle (MitM)
   attacks, and when used to enable ESP, provides DoS and MitM
   protection for upper layer protocols, such as TCP and UDP.

   The Host Identity Protocol introduces a new namespace, the Host
   Identity.  The effects of this change are explained in the companion
   document, the HIP architecture specification.
