A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IPv6 Security Architecture Author(s) : R. Atkinson Filename : draft-atkinson-ipng-sec-00.txt Pages : 13 Date : 11/16/1994 The Internet community is making a transition from version 4 of the Internet Protocol (IPv4) to version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6). [Hi94] This memo describes the security mechanisms integrated into version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) and the services that they provide. Each security mechanism is specified in a separate document. It also describes how security mechanisms outside the scope of the IPng effort (e.g. key management) relate to the IPv6 security mechanisms. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IPv6 Authentication Header Author(s) : R. Atkinson Filename : draft-atkinson-ipng-auth-00.txt Pages : 10 Date : 11/16/1994 The Internet community is working on a transition from version 4 of the Internet Protocol (IPv4) to version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6). This memo describes the IPv6 Authentication Header. This optional header provides strong integrity and authentication for IPv6 datagrams. Non-repudiation might be provided by an authentication algorithm used with the Authentication Header, but it is not provided with all authentication algorithms that might be used. Confidentiality, and protection from traffic analysis are not provided by the Authentication Header. Users desiring confidentiality should consider using the IPv6 Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP) either in lieu of or in conjunction with the Authentication Header. [NB: All references to "IPv6 Encapsulating Security Protocol" will be replaced with references to the "IPv6 Security Protocol (IPSP)" if/when such a document appears as an online Internet Draft]. This document assumes the reader has previously read and understood the related "IPv6 Security Overview" document which defines the overall security architecture for IPv6 and provides important background information for this specification.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IPv6 Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) Author(s) : R. Atkinson Filename : draft-atkinson-ipng-esp-00.txt Pages : 12 Date : 11/16/1994 This memo describes the IPv6 Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP). ESP seeks to provide integrity and confidentiality to IPv6 datagrams. It may also provide authentication, depending on which algorithm and algorithm mode are used. Non-repudiation and protection from traffic analysis are not provided by ESP. The IPv6 Authentication Header (AH) might provide non-repudiation if used with certain authentication algorithms. The IPv6 Authentication Header may be used in conjunction with ESP to provide authentication. Users desiring integrity and authentication without confidentiality should use the IPv6 Authentication Header (AH) instead of ESP. This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the related document "IPv6 Security Architecture", which defines the overall security architecture for IPv6 and provides important background for this specification.

Correct. A number of people have run tests on the strips (no, I didn't archive the articles, they were about 5-6 months back) and they are just what they appear to be, inert plastic strips put in there to make faking money more difficult. Many paper currencies arounf the world use plastic or metal foil strips in their money to make the bills more difficult to reproduce. I am familiar with the Israeli shekel (NIS) that has had foil strips in it for years... The main problem with detecting the strips is that it is faily trivial to have a detector that will determine if some strips have gone through, but having one that detects with any accuracy would be difficult to manufacture and still keep paper currency proportionately cheap. I suppose mini-transmitters in the 400 or so $10,000 bills might not be too far fetched, but it seems ridiculous. >>Assuming this is true, it would seem that even good, old fashioned, >>paper currency doesn't provide the level of anonymity that one >>would think.

This is just a quick thought...does anyone know what kind of metallic ink is used? To add to the conspiracy theory, say the metallic ink is radioactive with a higher radiation count for higher dollar amounts--would it be implausible then to have some sort of radiation counter to gauge a person's total 'radiation count,' and thereby approximate how much currency they are carrying out of the country?

I don't think that banks, et al. would seriously refuse to accept this money as a deposit (or for change, etc.) simply because at the moment there is too much pre-1991 money floating about, and it would be cumbersome to check each and every piece of currency. Then again, I've often tried to get pre-1991 money simply because I do not wish to deal in post-1991 dollars with strips (humor me) and have been told by tellers that they have no pre-1991 money. _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ All men recognize the right of revolution; that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable.
