Distributed-protocol authentication scheme
RFC 1004, “Distributed-protocol authentication scheme”, is an Experimental document published in April 1987 by D.L. Mills. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The purpose of this RFC is to focus discussion on authentication problems in the Internet and possible methods of solution. The proposed solutions this document are not intended as standards for the Internet at this time. Rather, it is hoped that a general consensus will emerge as to the appropriate solution to authentication problems, leading eventually to the adoption of standards. This document suggests mediated access-control and authentication procedures suitable for those cases when an association is to be set up between users belonging to different trust environments.
What “Experimental” means
