*** OSF-RFC ANNOUNCEMENT ***
The following OSF-RFC has just been published:
=====================================================================
71.0 G. Gaskell, M. Warner, "Improved Security for Smart Card Use in
DCE", February 1995.
Bytes: roff=32630, txt=20494, ps=77269; pages: txt=8, ps=5.
This RFC examines the use of smart cards conformant with ISO
International Standard 7816 to provide strong authentication in
Kerberos based authentication in DCE. Trade-offs between card
functionality and capacity on one hand, and security and user
convenience on the other are examined. This RFC only requires the
use of technology (secret-key authentication) that is currently
available.
