A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Guidelines for Mandating Automated Key Management
Author(s) : S. Bellovin
Filename : draft-bellovin-mandate-keymgmt-00.txt
Pages : 4
Date : 2003-4-9
The question often arises of whether or not a given security system
requires some form of automated key management, or whether manual
keying would suffice. This memo proposes guidelines for making such
decisions; the presumption is that automated key management is
generally but not always needed; if manual keying is proposed, the
burden of proof is on the proposer.

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.
