draft-baldwin-esp-rc5-00.txt


        The draft we have written on how to use RC5 in
an IPsec ESP is now on the IETF file servers.  The access information 
is given below.  All comments and suggestions are appreciated.

                --Bob Baldwin

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.                                                         

       Title     : The ESP RC5 Transform
       Author(s) : B. W. Howard and R. W. Baldwin 
       Filename  : draft-baldwin-esp-rc5-00.txt 
       Pages     : 10
       Date      : 03/20/1996

This document describes the RC5-CBC security transform for the IP 
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) based on the DES-CBC transform 
described in RFC-1829 and RFC-1827.  The RC5 cipher allows for greater 
performance, security and exportability than the DES cipher.  A companion 
document [Baldwin96] describes RC5 in sufficient detail to construct 
interoperable systems.

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail. 

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-baldwin-esp-rc5-00.txt".

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.

For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
