Title : A Simple IP Security API Extension to BSD Sockets
Author(s) : D. McDonald
Filename : draft-mcdonald-simple-ipsec-api-00.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 11/22/1996
In order to take advantage of the IP Security Architecture [Atk95], an
application should be able to tell the system what IP-layer security
services it needs to function with some degree of confidence. A simple
API that also allows simple security association policy to be set is
presented here. This document descends from earlier work performed in the
U. S. Naval Research Laboratory's IPv6 and IP security implementation
[AMPMC96].

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-mcdonald-simple-ipsec-api-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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
No recognizable part in multipart/alternative.
