A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : TCP Message Authentication Code Option
Author(s) : B. Weis, et al.
Filename : draft-weis-tcp-mac-option-00.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2005-12-7
This memo describes a TCP [RFC0793] extension to enhance security for
BGP [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp4] and other TCP-based protocols requiring
message authentication. It provides message authentication using a
Message Authentication Code (MAC), which is a superior authentication
method to the keyed MD5 method previously used. The option also
includes provision for automatic generation and distribution of MAC
keys. A set of MAC algorithms are specified, as well as guidance
when to use each one.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-weis-tcp-mac-option-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.
