Title : The Channel Conjunction Mechanism (CCM) for GSS
Author(s) : M. Eisler, N. Williams
Filename : draft-ietf-nfsv4-ccm-02.txt
Pages : 30
Date : 2003-10-22
This document describes a suite of new mechanisms under the GSS
[RFC2743]. Some protocols, such as RPCSEC_GSS [RFC2203], use GSS to
authenticate every message transfer, thereby incurring significant
overhead due to the costs of cryptographic computation. While
hardware-based cryptographic accelerators can mitigate such overhead,
it is more likely that acceleration will be available for lower layer
protocols, such as IPsec [RFC2401] than for upper layer protocols
like RPCSEC_GSS. CCM can be used as a way to allow GSS mechanism-
independent upper layer protocols to leverage the data stream
protections of lower layer protocols, without the inconvenience of
modifying the upper layer protocol to do so.

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.
