I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-btns-ipsec-apireq-00.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		: Requirements for an IPsec API
	Author(s)	: M. Richardson, B. Sommerfeld
	Filename	: draft-ietf-btns-ipsec-apireq-00.txt
	Pages		: 11
	Date		: 2006-4-14
	
   Given the open nature of the Internet today, application
protocols
   require strong security.  IPsec's wire protocols appear
to meet the
   requirements of many protocols.  The lack of a common
model for
   application-layer interfaces has complicated use of IPsec
by upper-
   layer protocols.  This document provides an overview of
facilities
   which a host IPsec implementation should provide to
applications to
   allow them to both observe and influence how IPsec
protects their
   communications.

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.
