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.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
