Abstract
This document describes a key management scheme that can be used for
real-time applications (both for peer-to-peer communication and group
communication). In particular, its use to support the Secure Real-
time Transport Protocol is described in detail.
Security protocols for real-time multimedia applications have started
to appear. This has brought forward the need for a key management
solution to support these protocols.
