Multicast Extensions to the Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol
RFC 5374, “Multicast Extensions to the Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2008 by B. Weis, G. Gross, D. Ignjatic. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol describes security services for traffic at the IP layer. That architecture primarily defines services for Internet Protocol (IP) unicast packets. This document describes how the IPsec security services are applied to IP multicast packets. These extensions are relevant only for an IPsec implementation that supports multicast. [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.
