This document describes the representation of identity information
in POLICY_DATA object [POL-EXT] for supporting policy based
admission control in RSVP. The goal of identity representation is to
allow a process on a system to securely identify the owner and the
application of the communicating process (e.g. user id) and convey
this information in RSVP messages (PATH or RESV) in a secure manner.
We describe the encoding of identities as RSVP policy element. We
describe the processing rules to generate identity policy elements
for multicast merged flows. Subsequently, we describe
representations of user identities for Kerberos and Public Key based
user authentication mechanisms. In summary we describe the use of
this identity information in an operational setting.

Group of the IETF.
