Dear Sir,

        I am doing my Ph.D in Electrical Engineering in the
University of Auckland under the supervision of Dr.Gavin Higgie in
the area of Network Protocol Security. I am presently looking into
SNMP-V2. I am also thinking of doing research in the following
problem. If anyone could help me?. If so please send e-mail  to my
account <murugesh@elenov1.aukuni.ac.nz> at the earlist possible with
sufficient papers .

**************** Proposed problem ************************

Main requirement is scalable model/architecture/API/implementation
for security/access control scheme that spans over very small
hand-held devices to large System, like mainframes.

At one end is OSF/DCE (internet RFC 46) access control and the other
end is light authentication package for link-level communication, like
hand-held devices.
The problem is OSF/DCE security package is huge but link-level authetication
does not provide access control.
