Code change:
WIP addressing . I don't want to pull this as-is: I just want comments on the format and usefulness of this. This closes the circle created by the list of protocol features in section 3, and indicates where we probably want more consistency and completeness in that list so the derivation of common optional features is more obvious.
Still a WIP. I have a bunch of comments as a result of doing this exercise: Feature availability for some protocol/feature combinations is not clear from the descriptions in the doc. Wireguard is IP encapsulation within UDP, but this is not stated anywhere in the doc. The set of features we list here should be called out or evident from the protocol features subsections under each protocol description. I think there's still some confusion in sections around symmetric authentication vs. signatures, i.e., AEAD-style authentication ("packets belong to this session") vs. PKI endpoint authentication ("this connection belongs to a peer I trust and is not being MITMed"). This may be a comment on the unfortunateness of the literature using "authenticated" for both.

Feature availability for some protocol/feature combinations is not clear from the descriptions in the doc. Can you give examples? Can you please open an issue to address this? See the other open pull request. :-) Where in particular are these things confused?
NAME ping!
Sorry, am away for the holiday weekend. The ones I have listed with a "?", for instance. I guessed on a few of the others, as well (e.g., configuration extensions for MinimalT). The right answer is for me to go back through this table and enumerate all the areas where the text isn't clear, and fix them. I'll file an issue. Will do. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking here. After reading it through again, I think I'm okay with how this is presented.
NAME can you please update this PR?
A few more questions: Is there any existing client puzzle/proof of work standardized for TLS or DTLS, or is URL as far as something's gotten? Same goes for IPsec; I can find no standardized version of any of these things. Should algorithms like TLS, DTLS, etc. that support native authentication but also can export a cryptographic channel binding be listed as supporting authentication delegation? My instinct is yes.
NAME None that I'm aware of! Yes, I think that's correct.
NAME Will you be able to complete this PR this week?
Yes, though I could use some guidance on the ?'s in the table, if you have enough context to resolve them. Otherwise, I will do some digging.
NAME IKEv2+ESP/AD: Yes, via EAP(-TLS). IKEv2+ESP/AFN: Yes, via vendor and configuration payloads. SRTP+DTLS/CM: No. ZRTP: Omit, since it's a variant? WireGuard/CM: No, connections are bound to IP addresses. WireGuard/SC: No, session resumption is not supported. WireGuard/LHP: Yes, for transport packets only. MinimalT/AD: No. MinimalT/AFN: No. MinimalT/LHP: Yes. CurveCP/AD: No.
RFR.
Ship it.
It's probably easier and more consumable to encode the matrix of protocols providing a particular feature as a table.
I'm assigning this to you, Kyle. Will you have time to take a stab at it?
Yep, I'll work on it this afternoon.
