                      *** OSF-RFC ANNOUNCEMENT ***

The following OSF-RFC has just been published:

   =====================================================================
   68.0  J. Wray, "Public-Key Login for DCE 1.2", November 1994.
         Bytes: roff=33293, txt=21899, ps=78793; pages: txt=8, ps=5.

   This document contains a discussion of the proposed public-key based
   login protocol for DCE 1.2.  The major goal of the work is to allow
   log-in without requiring that user secret data be known to the DCE
   security server, and to provide a means for secure storage of user
   private-keys for users without smart-cards.
   =====================================================================
