  The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft "Simple Authentication and
  Security Layer (SASL)" <draft-myers-auth-sasl-13.txt> as a Proposed
  Standard. It is not a product of an IETF working group. The IESG contact
  person is Jeffrey I. Schiller.
 
Technical Summary

  SASL is a protocol suitable for command line protocols (such as POP, IMAP or
  SMTP) to negotiate an exercise a security method such as OTP (S/KEY),
  Kerberos, a GSSAPI mechanism or similar technology.

Working Group Summary

  N/A

Protocol Quality

  The Security Area Director (Jeffrey I. Schiller) has reviewed this document
  and concluded that it performs its function as described. There are no known
  security vulnerabilities (besides those inherent whenever a security
  mechanism is negotiated between two parties) introduced by the use of this
  protocol. Overall network security can be improved by appropriate use of
  SASL with mechanisms that do not expose passwords over the network
  unencrypted.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: POP3 AUTHentication command
	Author(s)	: J. Myers
	Filename	: draft-myers-sasl-pop3-02.txt
	Pages		: 6
	Date		: 28-Oct-97
	
   This document defines the optional AUTH command to POP3 [POP3], for
   indicating an authentication mechanism to the server, performing an
   authentication protocol exchange, and optionally negotiating a
   security layer for subsequent protocol interactions.  This extension
   is a profile of the Simple Authentication and Session Layer [SASL].

Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.  Login wih the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address.  After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then

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
