This memo describes a protocol utilizing security concepts necessary for
establishing Security Associations (SA) and cryptographic keys in an
Internet environment. A Security Association protocol negotiates,
establishes, modifies and deletes Security Associations and their
attributes is required for an evolving Internet, where there will be
numerous security mechanisms and several options for each security
mechanism. The key management protocol must be robust in order to handle
public key generation for the Internet community at large and private key
requirements for those enclaves with that requirement.
The Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)
defines the procedures for authenticating a communicating peer, creation
and management of Security Associations, key generation techniques, and
threat (e.g. denial of service and replay attacks) mitigation. All of
these are necessary to establish and maintain secure communications (via IP
Security Service or any other security protocol) in an Internet
environment.

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.
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
No recognizable part in multipart/alternative.
