I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-msec-ipsec-signatures-06.txt

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

	Title		: The Use of RSA/SHA-1 Signatures within ESP and AH
	Author(s)	: B. Weis
	Filename	: draft-ietf-msec-ipsec-signatures-06.txt
	Pages		: 11
	Date		: 2005-6-22

This memo describes the use of the RSA Digital Signature algorithm as 
   an authentication algorithm within the revised IP Encapsulating 
   Security Payload (ESP) as described in RFC XXXX and the revised IP 
   Authentication Header (AH) as described in RFC YYYY. The use of a 
   digital signature algorithm, such as RSA, provides data origin 
   authentication in applications when a secret key method (e.g., HMAC) 
   does not provide this property. One example is the use of ESP and AH 
   to authenticate the sender of an IP multicast packet. 

       -- Note to RFC Editor:  Please replace RFC XXXX with the RFC 
       -- number that is assigned to draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-v3 and 
       -- replace RFC YYYY with the RFC number assigned to 
       -- draft-ietf-ipsec-rfc2402bis. Please also modify normative 
       -- references [ESP] and [AH] that point to these drafts with  
       -- their respective RFC numbers. Lastly, informative references  
       -- [IKEV2] and [AES-GCM] should be changed to their assigned  
       -- RFC numbers, assuming they are published before this  
       -- document.

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
