The Group Security Policy Token is a structure used to
specify the security policy and configurable parameters
for a cryptographic group, such as a secure multicast
group.  Because the security of a group is composed of
the totality of multiple security services, mechanisms, and
attributes throughout the communications infrastructure,
an authenticatable representation of the features that
must be supported throughout the system is needed to ensure
consistent security.  This document specifies the structure
of such a token.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
