Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP to ds.internic.net in the directory internet-drafts. Other places, too -- don't ask me, tho; for questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us. The first two seem interesting even if SKIP has no future in IPng. The last is useful because I keep pushing GSSAPI as a standard crypto API. :) Title : Encoding of an Unsigned Diffie-Hellman Public Value Author(s) : A. Aziz, T. Markson, H. Prafullchandra Filename : draft-ietf-ipsec-skip-udh-00.txt Pages : 6 Date : 12/22/1995 It is useful to be able to communicate public keys in the absence of a certificate hierarchy and a signature infrastructure. This document describes a method by which certificates which communicate Diffie-Hellman public values and parameters may be encoded and securely named. Title : Certificate Discovery Protocol Author(s) : A. Aziz, T. Markson, H. Prafullchandra Filename : draft-ietf-ipsec-cdp-00.txt Pages : 13 Date : 12/22/1995 Use of Public key cryptography is becoming widespread on the Internet in such applications as electronic mail and IP Security (IPSEC). Currently, however, a common public key certificate infrastructure does not exist which is interoperable with other systems and ubiquitous. In light of this, we describe a protocol which may be used to exchange or retrieve certificates (essentially signed public keys) with or from another entity. The protocol may be used to request certificates from a directory/name server or from the entity who owns the certificate. Title : The Simple Public-Key GSS-API Mechanism (SPKM) Author(s) : C. Adams Filename : draft-ietf-cat-spkmgss-05.txt Pages : 42 Date : 12/22/1995 This specification defines protocols, procedures, and conventions to be employed by peers implementing the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (as specified in RFCs 1508 and 1509) when using the Simple Public-Key Mechanism.
