This document introduces four schemes that provide per-packet
authentication, integrity, and anti-replay services in the context of
the Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) and NACK-Oriented Reliable
Multicast (NORM) protocols.  The first scheme is based on RSA Digital
Signatures.  The second scheme relies on the Elliptic Curve Digital
Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).  The third scheme relies on a Group-
keyed Message Authentication Code (MAC).  Finally, the fourth scheme
merges the Digital Signature and group schemes.  These schemes have
different target use cases, and they do not all provide the same
service.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]

This document is a product of the Reliable Multicast Transport Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
