Hi!!,

 Thanks! This sounds to me like what I'm looking for... more or less ;-)

 Actually I'm interested in the HIP_PARAM_CERT (a TLV which carries a
Certificate, I guess :D).
 What I want to do, is to send a Cert TLV when a base exchange (or update
signaling) triggers (maybe I'll even need to trigger it, if that is
possible).
 So, what can I do that with the hipconf tool? (or just programming by
myself, sending that option to the daemon?).
 And as important as the previous question, how can I get that Certificate
in the receiving side? (Can I ask the daemon in some way? Again, with the
hipconf tool or programming a request to the daemon).

 Do I need to change something in the HIP daemon in ordet to get this? (I
don't hope so... :S).

 Thanks a lot again! :)

Sorry for the long response time, I was in IETF last week.

We use HIP TLV format both for internal (process <-> hipd) and external
(hipd <-> hipd) communications in order to use a single parser/builder.
For example, you can set some option using hipconf and it will create some
(global) state in hipd. Then, you can e.g. add new parameters according to
the state to base exchange when base exchange is triggered.
