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

       Title     : Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol for SOCKS V5
       Author(s) : M. VanHeyningen
       Filename  : draft-ietf-aft-socks-chap-00.txt
       Pages     : 5
       Date      : 03/20/1997

This document specifies the integration of the Challenge-Handshake 
Authenticaton Protocol (CHAP) [RFC 1994] into SOCKS Version 5 [RFC 1928].  
It is intended to provide a simple, lightweight authentication method which
is more secure than cleartext passwords but simpler than GSSAPI-based 
methods.  This document describes the message formats and protocol details 
of incorporating CHAP into the SOCKS V5 authentication "subnegotiation."  
Support is included for authentication of server to client as well as 
client to server.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-aft-socks-chap-00.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.
							
							

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