Oakley protocol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oakley Key Determination Protocol is a key-agreement protocol that allows authenticated parties to exchange keying material across an insecure connection using the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm. The protocol was proposed by H. Orman in 1998, and formed the basis for the more widely used Internet key exchange protocol.[1]

The Oakley protocol has also been implemented in Cisco Systems' ISAKMP daemon.[2]
