There are occasions where it is advantageous to put authenticity and
privacy features at the network layer. The vast majority of the privacy and
authentication protocols in the literature deal with session oriented
key-management schemes. However, many of the commonly used network layer
protocols (e.g. IP and IPv6) are session-less datagram oriented protocols.
We describe a key-management scheme that is particularly well suited for
use in conjunction with a session-less datagram protocol like IP or IPv6.
We also describe a simple extension of this protocol to provide scalable
group key-management for Internet multicasting protocols.
In this revision of the draft we describe how the basic certified key
infrastructure proposed can be used to negotiate keys for traditional
session oriented key-management. This provides perfect forward secrecy, for
situations where forward secrecy is essential. We describe a particularly
efficient ephemeral key-negotiation mechanism using the basic certified key
infrastructure described above, which also addresses some basic privacy
related concerns.
SKIPP is designed to be plugged into the IP Security Protocol (IPSP)
or IPv6. This draft describes how to use SKIPP in the context of the IPSP.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
