The IESG has approved the following document: - 'HMAC-authenticated Diffie-Hellman for MIKEY ' <draft-ietf-msec-mikey-dhhmac-11.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multicast Security Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Russ Housley and Sam Hartman. Technical Summary This document describes a light-weight point-to-point key management protocol variant for the multimedia Internet keying (MIKEY) protocol MIKEY, as defined in RFC 3830. In particular, this variant deploys the classic Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol for key establishment featuring perfect forward secrecy in conjunction with a keyed hash message authentication code for achieving mutual authentication and message integrity of the key management messages exchanged. This protocol addresses the security and performance constraints of multimedia key management in MIKEY. Working Group Summary The MSEC Working Group reached consensus on this document. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed by Russ Housley for the IESG. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
