Technical Summary
This document describes MIKEY-SAKKE, a method of key exchange
designed for use in IMS Media Plane Security, but with potential for
wider applicability. The MIKEY-SAKKE mode uses Identifier-Based
Public Key Cryptography (IDPKC) to establish a shared secret value
and certificate-less signatures to provide source authentication.
MIKEY-SAKKE has a number of desirable features, including simplex
transmission, scalability, low-latency call setup, support for Lawful
Interception (LI) and support for secure deferred delivery.
