A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working 
Group of the IETF.

There are occasions where it is advantageous to put authenticity and 
privacy features at the network layer. The vast majority of the privacy and
authentication protocols in the literature deal with session oriented 
key-management schemes. However, many of the commonly used network layer 
protocols (for example, IP and IPv6) are session-less datagram oriented 
protocols. We describe a key-management scheme that is particularly well 
suited for use in conjunction with a session-less datagram protocol 
like IP or IPv6.                                                           

We also describe a simple extension of this protocol to provide scalable 
group key-management for Internet multicasting protocols. SKIP has been 
designed to work with the IP Security Protocols AH and ESP [8,9,10] 
which are specified for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsec-skip-03.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
							
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
