A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Architecture Board.
Title : Security Mechanisms for the Internet
Author(s) : S. Bellovin
Filename : draft-iab-secmech-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 20-Nov-98
Many different mechanisms can be used to provide security for
protocols. The precise one that is appropriate in any given
situation can vary. We review a number of different choices,
explaining the properties of each.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-iab-secmech-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-secmech-00.txt
Internet-Drafts directories are located at:
Africa: ftp.is.co.za
Europe: ftp.nordu.net
ftp.nic.it
Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au
US East Coast: ftp.ietf.org
US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu
Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv at ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-iab-secmech-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
