Well, the recipient has to know how to employ a particular
key-mgmt protocol. But this is true in general. If they
use different key-mgmt protocols than in general they
cant communicate.
Take a look at IEEE 802.10b. This is the equivalent of IPSP for
IEEE 802.10. It accommodates in-band keying, although it was designed
with the DEC approach in mind. (In particular, I believe a more
generic description is possible).
