Tarman, T D

This contribution describes a proposed information element that can convey authentication information within an ATM signaling message. The design of this information element provides a large amount of flexibility to the user because it does not specify a particular signature algorithm, and it does not specify which information elements must accompany the Authentication IE in a signaling message. This allows the user to implement authenticated signaling based on her site`s security policies and performance requirements.
