A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: The Use of HMAC-RIPEMD-160-96 within ESP and AH
	Author(s)	: N. Provos
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipsec-auth-hmac-ripemd-160-96-01.txt
	Pages		: 6
	Date		: 16-Feb-98
	
This draft describes the use of the HMAC algorithm [RFC-2104] in
   conjunction with the RIPEMD-160 algorithm [RIPEMD-160] as an
   authentication mechanism within the revised IPSEC Encapsulating
   Security Payload [ESP] and the revised IPSEC Authentication Header
   [AH]. HMAC with RIPEMD-160 provides data origin authentication and
   integrity protection.
 
   Further information on the other components necessary for ESP and AH
   implementations is provided by [Thayer97a].

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
