HMAC-Authenticated Diffie-Hellman for Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY)
Martin Euchner · 2006
This document describes a light-weight point-to-point key management protocol variant for the multimedia Internet keying (MIKEY). In particular, the classic Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol is used for key establishment in conjunction with a keyed hash (HMAC-SHA1) for achieving mutual authentication and message integrity of the key management messages exchanged. This MIKEY variant is called the HMAC- authenticated Diffie-Hellmann (DHHMAC). It addresses the security and performance constraints of multimedia key management in MIKEY.
