MIKEY-TICKET: Ticket-Based Modes of Key Distribution in Multimedia Internet KEYing
RFC 6043, “MIKEY-TICKET: Ticket-Based Modes of Key Distribution in Multimedia Internet KEYing”, is an Informational document published in March 2011 by J. Mattsson, T. Tian. It has since been updated by RFC 6309. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) specification describes a key management scheme for real-time applications. In this document, we note that the currently defined MIKEY modes are insufficient to address deployment scenarios built around a centralized key management service. Interest in such deployments is increasing. Therefore, a set of new MIKEY modes that work well in such scenarios are defined. The new modes use a trusted key management service and a ticket concept, similar to that in Kerberos. The new modes also support features used by many existing applications, where the exact identity of the other endpoint may not be known at the start of the communication session. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
