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:
RFC specifying an authentication format which supports multiple
authentication systems.
Document discussing the cost/benefit tradeoffs of various generic
approaches to solving the authentication problem in the Internet
context.
Document to act as a protocol designers guide to authentication.
RFC proposing A Key Distribution System (emphasis on ``A'' as opposed
to ``THE''). MIT's Kerberos seems the most likely candidate here.
Internet Drafts:
No Current Internet drafts.
Request For Comments:
None to date.
