2109 Kristol Feb 97 HTTP State Management Mechanism
This document specifies a way to create a stateful session with HTTP
requests and responses. It describes two new headers, Cookie and Set-
Cookie, which carry state information between participating origin
servers and user agents. The method described here differs from
Netscape"s Cookie proposal, but it can interoperate with HTTP/1.0 user
agents that use Netscape"s method. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

2104 Krawcyzk Feb 97 HMAC: Keyed-Hashing for Message
Authentication
This document describes HMAC, a mechanism for message authentication
using cryptographic hash functions. HMAC can be used with any iterative
cryptographic hash function, e.g., MD5, SHA-1, in combination with a
secret shared key. The cryptographic strength of HMAC depends on the
properties of the underlying hash function. This memo provides
information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an
Internet standard of any kind
2103 Ramanathan Feb 97 Mobility Support for Nimrod :
Challenges and Solution Approaches
We discuss the issue of mobility in Nimrod. While a mobility solution
is not part of the Nimrod architecture, Nimrod does require that the
solution have certain characteristics. We identify the requirements
that Nimrod has of any solution for mobility support. We also classify
and compare existing approaches for supporting mobility within an
internetwork and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. This memo
provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not
specify an Internet standard of any kind.
2102 Ramanathan Feb 97 Multicast Support for Nimrod :
Challenges and Solution Approaches
Nimrod does not specify a particular solution for multicasting. Rather,
Nimrod may use any of a number of emerging multicast techniques. We
identify the requirements that Nimrod has of a solution for multicast
support. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
