for a draft specification of the Security Policy System (SPS). Also,
our reference implementation is available through the same URL. This
implementation MAY be subject to the export control laws of the United
States of America as implemented by the United States Department of
State Office of Defense Trade Controls.  Enclosed you will find a
short blurb on SPS. Comments, suggestions and flames are welcome.

The Security Policy System (SPS) is a distributed database of security
policy information. It provides the mechanisms needed for discovering,
accessing and processing security policy information of hosts, subnets
or networks of a security domain. SPS provides hosts and security
gateways with the policy information required to establish a secure
communication end-to-end through possibly multiple security gateways.
Policy clients and servers exchange information using the Security
Policy Protocol. The protocol defines how the policy information is
exchanged, processed, and protected by clients and servers. The
protocol also defines what policy information is exchanged and the
format used to encode the information.
