OAKLEY
(I) A key establishment protocol (proposed for IPsec but
superseded by IKE) based on the Diffie-Hellman algorithm and
designed to be a compatible component of ISAKMP. [R2412]
(C) OAKLEY establishes a shared key with an assigned identifier
and associated authenticated identities for parties. I.e., OAKLEY
provides authentication service to ensure the entities of each
other's identity, even if the Diffie-Hellman exchange is
threatened by active wiretapping. Also, provides public-key
forward secrecy for the shared key and supports key updates,
incorporation of keys distributed by out-of-band mechanisms, and
user-defined abstract group structures for use with Diffie-
Hellman.
