HMAC-Authenticated Diffie-Hellman for Multimedia Internet KEYing
RFC 4650, “HMAC-Authenticated Diffie-Hellman for Multimedia Internet KEYing”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2006 by M. Euchner. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a lightweight point-to-point key management protocol variant for the multimedia Internet keying (MIKEY) protocol MIKEY, as defined in RFC 3830. In particular, this variant deploys the classic Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol for key establishment featuring perfect forward secrecy in conjunction with a keyed hash message authentication code for achieving mutual authentication and message integrity of the key management messages exchanged. This protocol addresses the security and performance constraints of multimedia key management in MIKEY. [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.
