The IAB is ready to ask the RFC-Editor to publish
A Survey of Authentication Mechanisms
draft-iab-auth-mech-03.txt
as an Informational RFC. This document provides a survey of
existing authentication mechanisms and their applicability
in the design of Internet protocols.
The IAB solicits comments by May 15, 2004. Please send
comments to the IAB (iab@iab.org), or to ietf@ietf.org.
The document can be found at

From the Abstract:
Authentication is a common security issue for the design of Internet
protocols. A wide variety of authentication technologies are avail-
able. A common problem is knowing which technology to choose or which
of a variety of essentially similar implementations of a given tech-
nique to choose. This memo provides a survey of available mechanisms
and guidance on selecting one for a given protocol.
Leslie Daigle,
For the IAB.
