This document describes a lightweight point-to-point key management
protocol variant for the multimedia Internet keying (MIKEY) protocol
MIKEY, as defined in RFC 3830.  In particular, this variant deploys
the classic Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol for key
establishment featuring perfect forward secrecy in conjunction with
a keyed hash message authentication code for achieving mutual
authentication and message integrity of the key management messages
exchanged.  This protocol addresses the security and performance
constraints of multimedia key management in MIKEY.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
