The IAB is ready to ask the RFC-Editor to publish

                              A Survey of Authentication Mechanisms

                                    draft-iab-auth-mech-03.txt


    as an Informational RFC. This document provides a survey of
    existing authentication mechanisms and their applicability
    in the design of Internet protocols.

    The IAB solicits comments by May 15, 2004. Please send
    comments to the IAB (iab@iab.org), or to ietf@ietf.org.

    The document can be found at

            http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-auth-mech-03.txt


        From the Abstract:

        Authentication is a common security issue for the design of Internet
        protocols. A wide variety of authentication technologies are avail-
        able. A common problem is knowing which technology to choose or which
        of a variety of essentially similar implementations of a given tech-
        nique to choose. This memo provides a survey of available mechanisms
        and guidance on selecting one for a given protocol.



Leslie Daigle,
      For the IAB.
