A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Multicast Security Working Group of the IETF.
Title : The Use of RSA Signatures within ESP and AH
Author(s) : B. Weis
Filename : draft-ietf-msec-ipsec-signatures-02.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2004-10-8
This memo describes the use of the RSA Digital Signature algorithm
[RSA] as an authentication algorithm within the revised IP
Encapsulating Security Payload [ESP] and the revised IP
Authentication Header [AH]. The use of a digital signature algorithm,
such as RSA, provides data origin authentication in applications when
a secret key method (e.g., HMAC) is not sufficient. One example is
the use of ESP and AH to authenticate the sender of an IP multicast
packet.
Further information on the other components necessary for ESP and AH
implementations is provided by [ROADMAP].

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.
