Secure multicast conferencing

This paper outlines the architectural principles of secured multicast conferencing. It discusses the general principles of the unsecured activity, giving details of tools, methods of announcing conferences, and relaying between multicast and unicast. It then considers how to secure these activities using techniques being standardised by the Internet Engineering Task Force.
