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.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-atkinson-ipng-sec-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. For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
