Abstract

This article describes various efforts to address security in three areas of the Internet protocol suite: the Internet Protocol itself (IPsec), the domain between transport and application layer (the Secure Sockets Layer and the Transport Layer Security protocols) and security extensions for the HyperText Transfer Protocol (S-HTTP). For each area the current technology, relevant standardization activities and likely future developments are discussed. In addition, a brief introduction to the Internet standardization process is given.
