Abstract

This document specifies the information contained in a conceptual database oflong-lived cryptographic keys used by many different routing protocols formessage security. The database is designed to support both manual andautomated key management. In addition to describing the schema for thedatabase, this document describes the operations that can be performed on thedatabase as well as the requirements for the routing protocols that wish touse the database. In many typical scenarios, the protocols do not directlyuse the long-lived key, but rather a key derivation function is used to derivea short-lived key from a long-lived key.
