GSAKMP: Group Secure Association Key Management Protocol
RFC 4535, “GSAKMP: Group Secure Association Key Management Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2006 by H. Harney, U. Meth, A. Colegrove, G. Gross. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the Group Secure Association Key Management Protocol (GSAKMP). The GSAKMP provides a security framework for creating and managing cryptographic groups on a network. It provides mechanisms to disseminate group policy and authenticate users, rules to perform access control decisions during group establishment and recovery, capabilities to recover from the compromise of group members, delegation of group security functions, and capabilities to destroy the group. It also generates group keys. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
