The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is used to establish a connection between a second host <B>32</B> and an application socket <B>42</B> on a first host <B>30</B>. This is achieved by: establishing a new or selecting an existing HIP Security Association <B>46</B> between the first and second hosts; creating a new or selecting an existing Tube Association <B>44</B>, identified by a Tube Identifier, between the application socket and the Security Association; forming an association <B>43</B>, <B>45</B> for the connection between the application socket, the Security Association and the Tube Association, thereby establishing a connection between the second host and the application socket on the first host through the Security Association and Tube Association. The Host Identity (HI) may be represented by a Host Identity Tag (HIT), which is generated by hashing the HI, or by a Local Scope Identifier (LSI).
