A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Instant Messaging and Presence Protocol Working Group
of the IETF.
Title : Security Framework for Instant Messaging and Presence
Protocol
Author(s) : G. Klyne
Filename : draft-ietf-impp-security-framework-00.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 22-Nov-99
This memo describes the security framework for the Instant
Messaging and Presence Protocols. It identifies the entities that
use IMPP protocol elements, the trust relationships between them,
security threats that are against which defence is to be provided,
and the consequent security responsibilities of the active
entities. Specific cryptographic and other security mechanisms are
NOT defined here.
NOTE: The security framework for IMPP is inherently bound up with
the IMPP protocol design, and this memo is expected to evolve as
decisions are made about the protocol design. In its current form,
this memo makes some assumptions about the IMPP structure that must
be reviewed as design proceeds.

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.
