Abstract

This document defines a key-management solution based on Datagram Transport Layer Security 1.3 (DTLS) to protect the content of Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) packets using the packet protection framework provided by the SCTP DTLS chunk. The combination provides encryption, source authentication, integrity and replay protection for the SCTP association with in-band DTLS based key-management and mutual authentication of the peers. The specification is enabling very long-lived sessions of weeks and months and supports mutual re-authentication and rekeying with ephemeral key exchange. The key-management solution does not require any additional defined features or implementation support beyond core DTLS 1.3. This is intended as a replacement to using DTLS/SCTP (RFC6083) and SCTP-AUTH (RFC4895).
