The most recent mail I've seen about this on the list was from Ran on
Sept.9 ("Subject: FYI: Multicast Key Management documents") -- check
the archives. He mentions GKMP [Harney et al.] and RFC 1949 [Ballardie].

The survey essay Secure Multicast [Pessi],
<http://www.nixu.fi/~pnr/netsec-lopulliset/3-0-multicast.html>,
is already rather out of date, but you might find the discussion of
an old version of SKIP (draft-...-skip-03) w.r.t. multicast to be
worth reading.
