A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Guidelines for Writing RFC Text on Security
Considerations
Author(s) : E. Rescorla, B. Korver
Filename : draft-rescorla-sec-cons-04.txt
Pages : 25
Date : 25-Feb-02
All RFCs are required by [RFC1543] to contain a Security Considera-
tions section. The purpose of this is both to encourage document
authors to consider security in their designs and to inform the
reader of relevant security issues. This memo is intended to provide
guidance to RFC authors in service of both ends.
This document is structured in three parts. The first is a combina-
tion security tutorial and definition of common terms; the second is
a series of guidelines for writing Security Considerations; the third
is a series of examples.

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.
