The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The Group Domain of Interpretation' (draft-ietf-msec-gdoi-update-11.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multicast Security Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Sean Turner and Stephen Farrell. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-msec-gdoi-update/ Technical Summary This document describes an updated version of the Group Domain of Interpretation (GDOI) protocol specified in RFC 3547. The GDOI provides group key management to support secure group communications according to the architecture specified in RFC 4046. The GDOI manages group security associations, which are used by IPsec and potentially other data security protocols. Working Group Summary This document, in its initial form (2006-2007) raised little discussion in the group. Then it entered dormant mode till its revival in 2010. Since then several reviews took place and issues found have been gracefully corrected. Document Quality Cisco has a GDOI implementation. The experience gained while implementing GDOI justified recent changes to the document. Personnel Vincent Roca (vincent.roca@inria.fr) is the Document Shepherd. Sean Turner (turners@ieca.com) is the responsible AD _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
