This memo considers the need to authenticate the source of a network
communication where the actual identity of the source is not
important but it is important to be sure that the source can not be
spoofed and that successive messages in the communication come from
the same source. This memo defines the use of specially generated
public/private key pairs, known as Purpose Built Keys (PBKs), to
provide this assurance. This memo is not a full specification of a
PBK protocol, but rather a model or framework for development of PBK
in applications.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-bradner-pbk-frame-05.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.
