Overview

RFC 2316, “Report of the IAB Security Architecture Workshop”, is an Informational document published in April 1998 by S. Bellovin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

On 3-5 March 1997, the IAB held a security architecture workshop at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ. We identified the core security components of the architecture, and specified several documents that need to be written. Most importantly, we agreed that security was not optional, and that it needed to be designed in from the beginning. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
