With the growth and commercialization of the Internet, the need for
secure IP multicast is growing. In this draft we present a taxonomy 
of multicast security issues. We first sketch some multicast group
parameters that are relevant to security, and outline the basic
security issues concerning multicast in general, with emphasis on IP
multicast. Next we suggest two 'benchmark' scenarios for secure
multicast solutions. Lastly we review some previous works.

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.
