FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2002 07:04:55 -0500 From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org To: IETF-Announce: ; Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-josefsson-siked-framework-00.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Notes on Application Key Distribution Author(s) : S. Josefsson, W. Griffin Filename : draft-josefsson-siked-framework-00.txt Pages : 12 Date : 28-Feb-02 The debate over whether to store cryptographic keys used by applications in the Domain Name System or not has been going on for some time. There are arguments for and against [6]. This document tries to take a step further and provides some initial terminology, problem statement and use cases for storing application keys in DNS, in order to enable more substantiated input to the discussion. We mention some proposed solutions so far. We also give some requirements on a solution (be it DNS based or not) that would satisfy the use cases. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-josefsson-siked-framework-00.txt To remove yourself from the IETF Announcement list, send a message to ietf-announce-request with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message. Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-josefsson-siked-framework-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-josefsson-siked-framework-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.
