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


	Title           : Security Requirements for HTTP
	Author(s)       : P. Hoffman, A. Melnikov
	Filename        : draft-ietf-httpbis-security-properties-00.txt
	Pages           : 10
	Date            : 2008-01-23

Recent IESG practice dictates that IETF protocols must specify
mandatory-to-implement security mechanisms, so that all conformant
implementations share a common baseline.  This document examines all
widely deployed HTTP security technologies, and analyzes the trade-
offs of each.

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.
