Diameter Attribute-Value Pairs for Cryptographic Key Transport
Overview
RFC 6734, “Diameter Attribute-Value Pairs for Cryptographic Key Transport”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2012 by G. Zorn, Q. Wu, V. Cakulev. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Some Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) applications require the transport of cryptographic keying material. This document specifies a set of Attribute-Value Pairs (AVPs) providing native Diameter support of cryptographic key delivery. [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.
