Description of Working Group:

The KINK working group is chartered to create a standards track
protocol to facilitate centralized key management for IPsec security
associations as defined in RFC 2401, as an alternative to IKE (RFC
2409).  Participating systems will use the Kerberos architecture as
defined in RFC 1510 (and its successors) for key management. The goal
of the working group is to produce a streamlined, fast, easily
managed, and cryptographically sound protocol that does not require
public key operations, and is compatible with existing and future
Kerberos infrastructures.

The working group will not require changes to either IPsec (RFC 2401),
or Kerberos (RFC 1510).

Goals and Milestones:

Done  Reach Consensus on requirements document
Done  Meet at San Diego IETF to review drafts
Jan 01  Reach Consensus on base draft protocol
Feb 01  Conduct WG last call on base draft prototol
Mar 01  Begin Interoperability bakeoffs
Aug 01  Document interoperability results. Make decision to recycle or move forward
