Kerberized Internet Negotiation of Keys

Overview

RFC 4430, “Kerberized Internet Negotiation of Keys”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2006 by S. Sakane, K. Kamada, M. Thomas, J. Vilhuber. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes the Kerberized Internet Negotiation of Keys (KINK) protocol. KINK defines a low-latency, computationally inexpensive, easily managed, and cryptographically sound protocol to establish and maintain security associations using the Kerberos authentication system. KINK reuses the Quick Mode payloads of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE), which should lead to substantial reuse of existing IKE implementations. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
