Technical Summary
Security protocols for real-time multimedia applications have started
to appear, bringing forward the need for a key management solution to
support these security protocols. This document describes a key
management scheme that can be used with real-time applications, for
both peer-to-peer communication and group communication. The document
also shows how MIKEY might work with protocols such as SIP and RTSP.
