The Group Domain of Interpretation
RFC 3547, “The Group Domain of Interpretation”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2003 by M. Baugher, B. Weis, T. Hardjono, H. Harney. It has been obsoleted by RFC 6407 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document presents an ISAMKP Domain of Interpretation (DOI) for group key management to support secure group communications. The GDOI manages group security associations, which are used by IPSEC and potentially other data security protocols running at the IP or application layers. These security associations protect one or more key-encrypting keys, traffic-encrypting keys, or data shared by group members. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
