A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : PGPticket
Author(s) : V. Moscaritolo, A. Mione
Filename : draft-moscaritolo-mione-pgpticket-01.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 16-Nov-98
OpenPGP specifies message formats and certificate formats used for
exchange of encrypted and/or authenticated objects. This document
discusses methods of extending OpenPGP's message formats to support
an authorization system. This system would use public key
cryptography to authenticate a user to a server and establish the
user's access permissions. The concept is that the user acquires a
ticket signed by some issuer that specifies what they are entitled
to do. That ticket is then submitted to a server. The server uses a
challenge/response method to verify that the holder really has the
matching private key. The server then allows the access specified.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-moscaritolo-mione-pgpticket-01.txt".
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.
