Title: The Flat Multicast Key Exchange protocol
State: Active
Authors: Laurence Duquerroy, Sebastien Josset
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-09-15
This document presents a new group key management protocol called FMKE
(Flat Multicast Key Exchange), derived from the Group Domain of
Interpretation (GDOI) [RFC 3547]. Like the GDOI, its objective is to Manage
securely group Security Associations (SA), i.e. establish and update SAs in
Group members. These security associations protect one or more
key-encrypting keys, traffic-encrypting keys, or data shared by group
members. This protocol is based on a centralized management, achieved by
the GCKS (Group Controller and Key Server). It is destined to be used by
Data Security protocols such as the IPSEC ESP protocol. The FMKE protocol
is destined to provide an optimized solution for very large groups with
direct connections such as in satellite systems, or wireless systems such
as WIFI. It can be considered as a GDOI use case adapted for satellite
networks.
