RFC 6267 Title: MIKEY-IBAKE: Identity-Based Authenticated Key Exchange (IBAKE) Mode of Key Distribution in Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) Author: V. Cakulev, G. Sundaram Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: June 2011 Mailbox: violeta.cakulev@alcatel-lucent.com, ganesh.sundaram@alcatel-lucent.com Pages: 30 Characters: 68031 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-cakulev-mikey-ibake-06.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6267.txt This document describes a key management protocol variant for the Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) protocol that relies on a trusted key management service. In particular, this variant utilizes Identity-Based Authenticated Key Exchange (IBAKE) framework that allows the participating clients to perform mutual authentication and derive a session key in an asymmetric Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) framework. This protocol, in addition to providing mutual authentication, eliminates the key escrow problem that is common in standard IBE and provides perfect forward and backward secrecy.
