Title : IPv6 Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
Author(s) : R. Atkinson
Filename : draft-atkinson-ipng-esp-00.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 11/16/1994
This memo describes the IPv6 Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP). ESP
seeks to provide integrity and confidentiality to IPv6 datagrams. It may
also provide authentication, depending on which algorithm and algorithm
mode are used. Non-repudiation and protection from traffic analysis are
not provided by ESP. The IPv6 Authentication Header (AH) might provide
non-repudiation if used with certain authentication algorithms. The IPv6
Authentication Header may be used in conjunction with ESP to provide
authentication. Users desiring integrity and authentication without
confidentiality should use the IPv6 Authentication Header (AH) instead of
ESP. This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the related
document "IPv6 Security Architecture", which defines the overall security
architecture for IPv6 and provides important background for this
specification.

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.
For questions, please mail to [email protected].
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
