Abstract:
The Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) protocol is a key management
standard defined in RFC 3830 for streaming and real-time
applications. In these applications, the MIKEY protocol may be used
to provide group key management. With the base protocol, the change
of one group member triggers the unicast transmission of a new group
key to all members. In the context of an application delivering
multicast streams to end-users located at multiple capillary
networks, the key update messages may scale in proportion to the
number of nodes; thus creating a substantial overhead. This I-D
proposes an extension to the MIKEY protocol allowing the management
of the group as a set of clusters, but with fewer changes to the RFC
3830 standard. Clustering helps in reducing the communication
overhead produced during key update by using unicast mode only with
nodes that belong to clusters where group membership changes
