  RFC 2094 (rfc2094) - Group Key Management Protocol (GKMP) Architecture
A group key request is sent to the KDC via various means (on- or off-line) The KDC acting as an access controller decides whether or not the request is proper (i.e., all members of a group are cleared to receive all the data on a group).
Permission management Each host on the network is given a permissions certificate signed by the security management which uniquely identify that host and identifies the access permissions it is allowed.
This new key is cooperatively created between the controller and net member in a similar manner as the net keys.

 Group Key Management
Traditionally, the key distribution function has been assigned to a central network entity, or Key Distribution Centre (KDC), but this method does not scale for wide-area multicasting, where group members may be widely-distributed across the internetwork, and a wide-area group may be densely populated.
Protocols based on Iolus can be used to achieve a variety of security objectives and may be used either to directly secure multicast communications or to provide a separate group key management service to other "security-aware" applications.
It focuses on two main areas of concern with respect to key management, which are, initializing the multicast group with a common net key and rekeying the multicast group.

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 private networks with that requirement.
An example of key transport is the use of the RSA algorithm to encrypt a randomly generated session key (for encrypting subsequent communications) with the recipient's public key.
Keying material used to arrive at a common shared secret and random information which is used to guarantee liveness and protect against replay attacks are also transmitted.

 IPsec ISAKMP: Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (RFC 2408)
ISAKMP, a key protocol in the IPsec (Internet Security) architecture, combines the security concepts of authentication, key management, and security associations to establish the required security for government, commercial, and private communications on the Internet.
These formats provide a consistent framework for transferring key and authentication data which is independent of the key generation technique, encryption algorithm and authentication mechanism.
ISAKMP is distinct from key exchange protocols in order to cleanly separate the details of security association management (and key management) from the details of key exchange.

 A security architecture for the Internet Protocol
The term "master key" is used to denote keys with a longer life period than a session key (say, a range of hours), and then they may allow for more time-consuming procedures for their generation and sharing.
Thus, our approach to key management is hierarchical--namely, session keys are derived from the shared master keys and, in turn, the master keys are derived using any of the well-established key exchange methods: public key exchange, key distribution centers (e.g., Kerberos [13]), and manual key installation.
The master key is actually a pair of keys: one key is used to authenticate the messages from the session key protocol, and the other is used as an input to the pseudorandom function in order to derive session keys (see Figure 3).

 RFC 2094 - Group Key Management Protocol (GKMP) Architecture
Harney and Muckenhirn Experimental [Page 2] RFC 2094 GKMP Architecture July 1997 2 Multicast Key Management Architectures 2.1 Current Operations There are several electronic mechanisms for generating and distributing symmetric keys to several computers (i.e., communications groups).
Group Key Distribution -- After creation of the GKP, the group controller contacts each member of the group, creates a Session Key Package (SKP), validates their permissions (check member's certificate against group parameters), and create a Group Rekey Harney and Muckenhirn Experimental [Page 4] RFC 2094 GKMP Architecture July 1997 Package for that member.
We allow some external entity to allocate these roles to individual group members, this is important in the military application do to the fact that in a Harney and Muckenhirn Experimental [Page 12] RFC 2094 GKMP Architecture July 1997 commercial application the allocating authority and group controller may very well always be the same.

 RFC 2522 (rfc2522) - Photuris: Session-Key Management Protocol
Abstract Photuris is a session-key management protocol intended for use with the IP Security Protocols (AH and ESP).
Protocol Details The Initiator begins a Photuris exchange under several circumstances: - The Initiator has a datagram that it wishes to send with confidentiality, and has no current Photuris exchange state with the IP Destination.
When an individual key does not use all 128-bits of the last hash, any remaining unused (least significant) bits of the last hash are discarded.

 Roxen Community: RFC 2093 Group Key Management Protocol (GKMP) Specification (Experimental)
Cooperative key management algorithms exist that allow pairwise keys to be generated between two equipment's.
During each key management action the CRL version number is passed, when a CRL update is detected it is downloaded and verified (it is signed by a higher authority).
The key table is updated to reflect the new group keys, key permissions, rekey interval, group ID and current time.

 Abstract -- Simple Key-Management for Internet Protocol (SKIP)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Fundamental to our approach is a philosophy of securing the perimeter of the network and encrypting all outbound traffic through the perimter at the network layer, thereby not requiring user intervention, modification of applications or host based operating system revision.
A protocol has been developed and presented to the IETF Security Working Group - the Simple Key Management Protocol for IP " SKIP " protocol.
Unique to this protocol are the lack of exchange of unencrypted keying material over the network, pipelining of traffic key generation and on the fly traffic key changing.

 Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)
ISAKMP is distinct from key exchange protocols in order to cleanly separate the details of security association management (and key management) from the details of key exchange.
Key Exchange Symmetry: A key exchange provides symmetry if either party can initiate the exchange and exchanged messages can cross in transit without affecting the key that is generated.
An example for this proposal might be: Protocol 1 is ESP with Transform 1 as 3DES and Transform 2 as DES AND Protocol 2 is AH with Transform 1 as SHA.

MIS managers, users and individuals could never be certain that the application sent to them over the network hadn't been tampered with or altered in some potentially fatal way -- not to mention the potential liability of "damaged goods" borne by the software provider.
It uses the principles of Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange to generate unique keys that can only be used by a specific sender or receiver.
Interoperable key management is crucial to the success of virtual private networks.

Abstract Photuris is a session-key management protocol intended for use with the IP Security Protocols (AH and ESP).
Since the basic Photuris protocol is extensible, new data types and protocol behaviour should be expected.

First, the replacement protocols cut down the number of messages each VPN device has to send to another to set up a secure tunnel from eight to one.
Pre-shared keying is still allowed, but it would be done outside the standard key-management protocol.
The e-mail discussion of these replacement protocols has been intense since they were posted about a month ago, and no decisions have been made yet.

 ESCP Key Management Protocol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Key Management Protocol (ESCP-KMP) is used by applications to obtain public keys from a key server (keyserv).
After receiving the Identity Message from the peer in the ESCP-SSP Initialization Phase, an application may need to look up keyservd to retrieve the peer's public key information or certificate.
ESCP-KMP consists of a series of messages, starting with a command from the client to keyservd, then a response from keyservd to the client, then repeating the sequence until the connection is closed.
