A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working Group of the
IETF.

	Title		: Internet Security Association and 
                          Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)

    This memo describes a protocol utilizing security concepts
    necessary for establishing Security Associations (SA) and crypto-
    graphic keys in an Internet environment.  A Security Association
    protocol that negotiates, establishes, modifies and deletes
    Security Associations and their attributes is required for an
    evolving Internet, where there will be numerous security mecha-
    nisms and several options for each security mechanism.  The key
    management protocol must be robust in order to handle public key
    generation for the Internet community at large and private key
    requirements for those private networks with that requirement.
     The Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol
    (ISAKMP) defines the procedures for authenticating a communicat-
    ing peer, creation and management of Security Associations, key
    generation techniques, and threat mitigation (e.g.  denial of
    service and replay attacks).  All of these are necessary to es-
    tablish and maintain secure communications (via IP Security Ser-
    vice or any other security protocol) in an Internet environment.

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.
