The IESG contact person is Sean Turner. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-groves-mikey-sakke/ Technical Summary This document describes MIKEY-SAKKE, a method of key exchange designed for use in IMS Media Plane Security, but with potential for wider applicability. The MIKEY-SAKKE mode uses Identifier-Based Public Key Cryptography (IDPKC) to establish a shared secret value and certificate-less signatures to provide source authentication. MIKEY-SAKKE has a number of desirable features, including simplex transmission, scalability, low-latency call setup, support for Lawful Interception (LI) and support for secure deferred delivery. Working Group Summary This is not the product of any working group. This submission is part of a family of specifications specifying a new mikey mode for use in 3GPP. Adoption by 3GPP is not assured.
