Title : NGISec-NAT and QoS compatible End-to-End Secure
Communication

This document outlines a new approach, called NGISec, for end-to-end
secure communication system that is compatible with other networking
protocols. Such a solution is needed because IPSec is incompatible
with network address translation (NAT), ICMP, and QoS protocols such
as differentiated services, RSVP, RED, and ECN. Most of the proposed
solutions to mitigate or remove the incompatibility problems of
IPSec only address a small sub-section of the problems, and proposed
solutions have severe drawbacks. By using our proposed approach, one
can achieve end-to-end secure communication in LANs, VPNs, and
network-to-network connections. This approach can be viewed as an
alternative to IPSec that solves the severe problems faced by IPSec
and paves the way for simultaneous use of security and QoS services.
While it is aimed to be an alternative to IPSec, it re-uses critical
components of the IPSec infrastructure such as the Internet key
exchange (IKE). An interesting aspect of the proposed protocol is
that it also allows the use of SSL/TLS to build VPNs.

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.
