A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Better-Than-Nothing Security Working Group of the IETF.
Title : An interface between applications and keying systems
Author(s) : M. Richardson
Filename : draft-ietf-btns-abstract-api-00.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 2007-6-29
The "BTNS" (Better Than Nothing Security) protocols specifies how to
use IKEv1 and IKEv2 to do unauthenticated IPsec. This document
explains in the abstract (no language bindings are provided) how an
application may learn that BTNS IPsec has been applied to a
conversation, such that the application can plan to do it's own
authentication using a channel binding. In addition, applications
can use this API (Application Programming Interface) to request BTNS
treatment of the applications' connections.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-btns-abstract-api-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.
