The Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) specification describes a key
management scheme for real-time applications. In this document, we
note that the currently defined MIKEY modes are insufficient to
address deployment scenarios built around a centralized key
management service. Interest in such deployments is increasing.
Therefore, a set of new MIKEY modes that work well in such scenarios
are defined. The new modes use a trusted key management service and
a ticket concept, similar to that in Kerberos. The new modes also
support features used by many existing applications, where the exact
identity of the other endpoint may not be known at the start of the
communication session. This document is not an Internet Standards Track
specification; it is published for informational purposes.
INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.
