Database of Long-Lived Symmetric Cryptographic Keys
RFC 7210, “Database of Long-Lived Symmetric Cryptographic Keys”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2014 by R. Housley, T. Polk, S. Hartman, D. Zhang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the information contained in a conceptual database of long-lived cryptographic keys used by many different routing protocols for message security. The database is designed to support both manual and automated key management. In addition to describing the schema for the database, this document describes the operations that can be performed on the database as well as the requirements for the routing protocols that wish to use the database. In many typical scenarios, the protocols do not directly use the long-lived key, but rather a key derivation function is used to derive a short-lived key from a long-lived key.
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.
