 A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories.                                                              

       Title     : A Simple IP Security API Extension to BSD Sockets

In order to take advantage of the IP Security Architecture [Atk95], an 
application should be able to tell the system what IP-layer security 
services it needs to function with some degree of confidence.   A simple 
API that also allows simple security association policy to be set is 
presented here.  This document descends from earlier work performed in the 
U. S. Naval Research Laboratory's IPv6 and IP security implementation 
[AMPMC96].                                                                 

Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.  Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address.  After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
     "get draft-mcdonald-simple-ipsec-api-01.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-mcdonald-simple-ipsec-api-01.txt

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.	
	                                                
Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-mcdonald-simple-ipsec-api-01.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.
