Garibaldi is a Key Distribution and System Management tool for IEC 61850.
Garibaldi can:
- Manage large numbers of multicast group's key and policy distribution
- Manage system enrollment to allow revocation
- Operate in centralize or de-centralized environments
The KDC stand-alone Client implements the IEC 62351-9 GDOI profile (per RFC 6407) and therefore requires a GDOI Key Server for operation. Currently, the Garibaldi Key Distribution Center is the only commercially available GDOI Key Server known to be fully compliant and interoperable. Other key servers that use IKEv2 or proprietary key-exchange mechanisms are not compatible with the GDOI-based KDC Client. Integrators should ensure that a Garibaldi or equivalently compliant GDOI Key Server is available in the deployment environment.
