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.
