Ballot Text
Technical Summary
This specification describes a MIKEY modes that relies on a
centralized key management service. The mode uses a trusted key
management service and a ticket concept, similar to that in Kerberos.
The new mode also supports features called forking where the exact
identity of the other endpoint may not be known at the start of the
communication session, which is required by some applications,
Working Group Summary

protocol is one option under consideration by 3GPP.

is the Responsible Area Director.'
RFC Editor Note
Please insert the following paragraph at the beginning of Section 12:
This specification includes a large number of optional features, which adds complexity to
the general case. Protocol designers are strongly encouraged to establish strict profiles
defining MIKEY-TICKET options (e.g., exchanges or message fields) that SHOULD or
MUST be supported. Such profiles should preclude unexpected consequences from
compliant implementations with wildly differing option sets.
