Technical Summary

This document extends an IETF protocol (GDOI, published as RFC 7407), which distributes IPsec security association policy and keying material used to protect IP multicast packets . The IEC 61850 power utility automation family of standards defines it’s own transport security methods for multicast packets, and these standards specify the use of GDOI to provide the necessary policy and keying material. This draft specifies how the IEC 61850 policy and keying material is distributed within the GDOI protocol.

Working Group Summary

The document is an individual submission. The logical working group to have progressed this would have been the Multicast Security (MSEC) WG, which has been closed from some time. The document has been reviewed by several individuals in the IETF Security Area, as well as the IEC 61850 working group. An early SecDir review was published on -02 of this document, and the authors believe that each of the comments were addressed.: <https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/secdir/current/msg04601.html>.
