I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-btns-core-02.txt

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		: Better-Than-Nothing-Security: An Unauthenticated
Mode of IPsec
	Author(s)	: M. Richardson, N. Williams
	Filename	: draft-ietf-btns-core-02.txt
	Pages		: 15
	Date		: 2007-3-1
	
This document specifies how to use the Internet Key Exchange
(IKE)
   protocols, such as IKEv1 and IKEv2, to setup
"unauthenticated"
   security associations (SAs) for use with the IPsec
Encapsulating
   Security Payload (ESP) and the IPsec Authentication
Header (AH).  No
   IKE extensions are needed, but Peer Authorization
Database (PAD) and
   Security Policy Database (SPD) extensions are specified.
   Unauthenticated IPsec is herein referred to by its
popular acronym,
   "BTNS" (Better Than Nothing Security).

Send a message to:

In the body type:

/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-btns-core-02.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.
