Re: "user" and "network layer" security. reply to respondents.



Bill,

The transport layer doesn't have "user" either.  Adding a "user" concept
in a new layer between the transport and network layer still breaks the
network architecture.

A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working
Group of the IETF.                                                        

Note: This revision reflects comments received during the last call period.

       Title     : HMAC-MD5 IP Authentication with Replay Prevention       
       Author(s) : M. Oehler, R. Glenn
       Filename  : draft-ietf-ipsec-ah-hmac-md5-02.txt
       Pages     : 7
       Date      : 08/29/1996

This document describes a keyed-MD5 transform to be used in conjunction 
with the IP Authentication Header [RFC-1826]. The particular transform is 
based on [HMAC-MD5].  An option is also specified to guard against replay 
attacks.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsec-ah-hmac-md5-02.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@ietf.org
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
