A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Security Policy Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Requirements for an IPsec API
Author(s) : B. Sommerfeld
Filename : draft-ietf-ipsp-ipsec-apireq-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2003-6-19
Given the open nature of the Internet today, application protocols
require strong security. IPsec's wire protocols appear to meet the
requirements of many protocols. The lack of a common model for
application-layer interfaces has complicated use of IPsec by upper-
layer protocols. This document provides an overview of facilities
which a host IPsec implementation should provide to applications to
allow them to both observe and influence how IPsec protects their
communications.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsp-ipsec-apireq-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.
