This document describes an architecture for the management of
cryptographic keys for multicast communications.  We identify the
roles and responsibilities of communications system elements in
accomplishing multicast key management, define security and functional
requirements of each, and provide a detailed introduction to the Group
Key Management Protocol (GKMP) which provides the ability to create
and distribute keys within arbitrary-sized groups without the
intervention of a global/centralized key manager.

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
