what i'd like a key daemon to do:
- create or import a symmetric key database (hardware entropy++)
- for encrypted key databases prompt for authentication
- enter SA's according to key schedule associated with db
- invalidate used keys and securely delete them from db
you can assume that key distribution details are covered.

what i don't what it ever doing:
opening a public network socket and listening to unauthenticated
traffic (ISAKMP).
