A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Kitten (GSS-API Next Generation) Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Stackable Generic Security Service Pseudo-Mechanisms
Author(s) : N. Williams
Filename : draft-ietf-kitten-stackable-pseudo-mechs-01.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2005-10-19
This document defines and formalizes the concept of stackable pseudo-
mechanisms, and associated concept of composite mechanisms, for the
Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API),
as well as several utility functions.
Stackable GSS-API pseudo-mechanisms allow for the composition of new
mechanisms that combine features from multiple mechanisms. Stackable
mechanisms that add support for Perfect Forward Security (PFS), data
compression, additional authentication factors, etc... are
facilitated by this document.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-kitten-stackable-pseudo-mechs-01.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.
