In the framework document <draft-irtf-smug-framework-00.txt>,
the Secure Multicast Group (SMuG) has identified three functionalities
that deal with security transformations for the multicasted
data. These are data encryption, source authentication, and group
authentication. This document expands on the issues to be taken
into consideration when designing transforms that realize these
functionalities. These issues include the order of applying the
transforms, their placement in the communication layers, possible
aggregation of several functionalities in a single transform, and
the relationships with other protocols (such as reliable multicast
protocols). Next a specific design is proposed, that attempts to meet
the requirements of prominent application in a simple yet flexible way.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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.
