Title: The Group Security Association Key Management Protocol Application to the IP Security Architecture
State: Active
Authors: George Gross
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-07-02
The Group Security Association Key Management Protocol (GSAKMP)is a
distributed secure multicast framework and key management protocol. This
specification defines the GSAKMP profile for the IP security architecture
version 2 and extends the base GSAKMP protocol with the Security
Association Management (SAM) message. The GSAKMP IPsec policy token
explicitly authorizes which group members may exercise the speaker
privilege. When an authorized group speaker endpoint multicasts a SAM
message to a GSAKMP group, the SAM message configures that group's Security
Policy Databases and Security Association Databases in compliance to a
template within the GSAKMP IPsec policy token. In addition, this
specification profiles the three supporting components: RFC 2401-bis
compliant IP security subsystem, Negative-acknowledgement Oriented Reliable
Multicast (NORM) protocol handler, and the X.509 Public Key Infrastructure.
