Description of Working Group:
To brainstorm issues related to providing for the security and
integrity of information on the Internet, with emphasis on those
protocols used to operate and control the network. To propose open
standard solutions to problems in network authentication.
Goals and Milestones:

candidate here.

authentication.
Oct 88 RFC specifying an authentication format which supports multiple
authentication systems.
Oct 88 Document discussing the cost/benefit tradeoffs of various
generic approaches to solving the authentication problem in the
Internet context.
