A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Lightweight Kerberos Mechanism

Filename : draft-trostle-lwkerb-01.txt

The Kerberos V5 protocol [3] allows network entities to authenticate
and establish shared secret keys. Some network applications would
benefit from a lightweight authentication mechanism with many of the
benefits of Kerberos, but where the messages have fewer bytes than
existing Kerberos messages. Also, we describe a protocol option that
requires only two messages to be sent and received from the client,
to support lightweight clients. This document describes a Kerberos-
like protocol that does not use ASN.1 and is optimized for smaller
messages. The protocol makes use of existing Kerberos infrastructure.

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.
