The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Multicast Extensions to the Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol ' <draft-ietf-msec-ipsec-extensions-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multicast Security Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Tim Polk and Pasi Eronen. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-msec-ipsec-extensions-09.txt Technical Summary This document describes extensions to RFC 4301 that further define the IPsec security architecture for groups of IPsec devices to share SAs. In particular, it supports SAs with traffic selectors that include a multicast address in the IP destination field, and results in an IPsec packet with an IP multicast address in the IP destination field. It also describes additional semantics for IPsec Group Key Management (GKM) subsystems. Note that this document uses the term "GKM protocol" generically and therefore it does not assume a particular GKM protocol. Working Group Summary This document is a product of the Multicast Security Working Group. The specification was not controversial. Protocol Quality This specification was reviewed for the IESG by Tim Polk. The WG solicited and received reviews from active participants from the IPSEC WG. The WG is not aware of any existing implementations. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
