Security is increasingly becoming a concern in applications built on
multi-party communication. Centrally, protection of the application
content from non-authorized or malicious parties is the fundamental
goal of any security policy specification. This draft seeks to
illuminate the design space of secure multicast communication
policy. The security requirements of existing application policies
are intended to be addressable by these policy dimensions. It is
from an understanding of policy design space that the mechanisms for
policy specification and enforcement can be derived.

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
