Encryption is probably overkill anyway. What is needed is a mechanism
simply to say that the content is certified to have come from the source
it claims to come from. So ... basically ... better not to use
multicast for anything you really might have any security issues
with. Fine for broadcasting a video, not so fine for a kernel update.

See the work of the IETF MIKEY working group.

He won't like it.  He hates everything.
