This document presents an extension to the Internet Key Exchange
Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2) for the purpose of group key management.
The protocol is in conformance with the Multicast Security (MSEC)
Group Key Management architecture, which contains two components:
member registration and group rekeying. Both components are required
for a Group Controller/Key Server (GCKS) to provide authorized Group
Members (GMs) with IPsec Group Security Associations (GSAs). The GMs
then exchange IP multicast or other group traffic as IPsec packets.
This document obsoletes RFC 6407.
This document is a product of the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
