This document specifies the Group Secure Association Key Management Protocol (GSAKMP). The GSAKMP provides a security framework for creating and managing cryptographic groups on a network. It provides mechanisms to disseminate group policy and authenticate users@ rules to perform access control decisions during group establishment and recovery@ capabilities to recover from the compromise of group members@ delegation of group security functions@ and capabilities to destroy the group. It also generates group keys.
