FYI. Phil -------- Original Message -------- Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-nagpal-biometric-digital-signature-00.txt Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 08:00:55 -0400 From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org Reply-To: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org To: IETF-Announce: ; --NextPart A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Biometric based Digital Signature scheme Author(s) : R. Nagpal, S. Nagpal Filename : draft-nagpal-biometric-digital-signature-00.txt Pages : 6 Date : 13-May-02 Digital Signatures are fast emerging as a viable information security solution, satiating the objectives of data integrity, entity authentication, privacy, non-repudiation and certification. The technique, as it stands today, faces the problem of the maintenance of the secrecy of the private key. This document provides a conceptual framework for the establishment of a biometric-based key generation scheme. In this scheme, the private key is generated each time a document or record requires to be signed. Such generation is based upon a combination of biometric traits. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nagpal-biometric-digital-signature-00.txt To remove yourself from the IETF Announcement list, send a message to ietf-announce-request with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message. Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-nagpal-biometric-digital-signature-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-nagpal-biometric-digital-signature-00.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. --NextPart Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative; Boundary="OtherAccess" --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; access-type="mail-server"; server="mailserv@ietf.org" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <20020513142028.I-D@ietf.org> ENCODING mime FILE /internet-drafts/draft-nagpal-biometric-digital-signature-00.txt --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; name="draft-nagpal-biometric-digital-signature-00.txt"; site="ftp.ietf.org"; access-type="anon-ftp"; directory="internet-drafts" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <20020513142028.I-D@ietf.org> --OtherAccess-- --NextPart--
