A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : The PKI SASL Mechanism
Author(s) : T. Hansen
Filename : draft-hansen-sasl-pki-00.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 2003-2-27
This document defines a user/password Simple Authentication and
Security Layer(SASL) mechanism called the PKI mechanism. The PKI
mechanism is intended to be used in situations where (1) passwords must
be encrypted, (2) the password must be recoverable, and (3) using TLS in
combination with a SASL mechanism such as PLAIN is inappropriate.
NOTE: This document is a straw proposal to see what interest there
is in having a SASL mechanism such as this. See the first section below
for more information on why this mechanism is needed.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-hansen-sasl-pki-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.
