Title : Low Infrastructure Public Key Mechanisms: SPKM-3 and LIPKEY
Author(s) : W. Adamson, et al.
Filename : draft-adamson-rfc2847-bis-01.txt
Pages : 65
Date : 2006-8-21
This memorandum describes a method whereby one can use GSS-API
[RFC2078] to supply a public-key based secure channel between a
client and a server without the need for an external Public Key
Infrastructure for certificate verification. The method leverages
the existing Simple Public Key Mechanism (SPKM), and is specified as
two separate GSS-API mechanisms, SPKM-3 and LIPKEY, with LIPKEY
layered above SPKM-3.
SPKM-3 describes a method for creation of the secure channel using
mutual authentication where both a user and server authenticate with
public-key certificates [RFC3280]. SPKM-3 also describes a method
for creation of the secure channel where only the server
authenticates with a public-key certificate, and the user is
anonymous. LIPKEY then uses the SPKM-3 anonymous secure channel to
authenticate a user with a password, completing the mutual
authentication.

In the body type:

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.
