Description of Working Group:
To brainstorm issues related to providing for the security and
integrity of information on the Internet, with emphasis on those
protocols used to operate and control the network. To propose open
standard solutions to problems in network authentication.
Goals and Milestones:

as opposed to ``THE''). MIT's Kerberos seems the most
likely candidate here.
OCT 88 Document to act as a protocol designers guide to
authentication.
OCT 88 RFC specifying an authentication format which supports
multiple authentication systems.
OCT 88 Document discussing the cost/benefit tradeoffs of various
generic approaches to solving the authentication problem in
the Internet context.
