A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : NGISec-NAT and QoS compatible End-to-End Secure Communication Author(s) : J. Shukla Filename : draft-shukla-ipsec-nat-qos-compatible-security-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 08-Nov-00 This document outlines a new approach, called NGISec, for end-to-end secure communication system that is compatible with other networking protocols. Such a solution is needed because IPSec is incompatible with network address translation (NAT), ICMP, and QoS protocols such as differentiated services, RSVP, RED, and ECN. Most of the proposed solutions to mitigate or remove the incompatibility problems of IPSec only address a small sub-section of the problems, and proposed solutions have severe drawbacks. By using our proposed approach, one can achieve end-to-end secure communication in LANs, VPNs, and network-to-network connections. This approach can be viewed as an alternative to IPSec that solves the severe problems faced by IPSec and paves the way for simultaneous use of security and QoS services. While it is aimed to be an alternative to IPSec, it re-uses critical components of the IPSec infrastructure such as the Internet key exchange (IKE). An interesting aspect of the proposed protocol is that it also allows the use of SSL/TLS to build VPNs.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-shukla-ipsec-nat-qos-compatible-security-00.txt". 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.
