Re: [MSEC] Application layer multicast security protocol

Hi All,

Thanks for all the responses. SRTP along with MIKey/GDOI seems to fit
well. Are there any open source implementations on MIKey?

Also is SRTP tested if it is useful for streaming media. Am asking
this coz most of the references to SRTP were for VoIP applications.

Thanks,
Sampreeth
