This memo describes a Packet Protocol used in the Secure Internet Live
Conferencing (SILC) protocol, specified in the Secure Internet Live
Conferencing, Protocol Specification Internet Draft [SILC1]. This
protocol describes the packet types and packet payloads which defines
- the contents of the packets. The protocol provides secure binary packet
- protocol that assures that the contents of the packets are secured and
- authenticated.

This memo describes two protocols used in the Secure Internet Live

Conferencing, Protocol Specification internet-draft [SILC1]. The
SILC Key Exchange (SKE) protocol provides secure key exchange between

and the OAKLEY Key Determination protocol [OAKLEY].

The SILC Connection Authentication protocol provides user level

protocol is transparent to the authentication data which means that it
can be used to authenticate the user with, for example, passphrase
(pre-shared-secret) or public key (and certificate).

Abstract
-<p>
+<br /><br />
This memo describes the commands used in the Secure Internet Live
Conferencing (SILC) protocol, specified in the Secure Internet Live
Conferencing, Protocol Specification Internet Draft [SILC1]. The
the commands are used by SILC clients to manage the SILC session, but
also SILC servers may use the commands. This memo specifies detailed
command messages and command reply messages.
