NEXT STEPS FOR INTERNET SECURITY
The Internet Security Protocol group has succeeded in defining the security
services of the IP security protocol, including data confidentiality, data
integrity, authentication and access control. It's now working to combine
the requirements for highly compressed encoding, which conserves bandwidth,
with the requirement for a fixed, easy-to-parse format, which is essential
to high-speed processing. Future tasks include developing companion key
technology as an application-layer protocol, and establishing requirements
for the encapsulation and key management protocols. (Telecommunications
