                A Framework for Purpose Built Keys (PBK)

   This memo considers the need to authenticate the source of a 
   network communication where the actual identity of the source is
   not important but it is important to be sure that the source can
   not be spoofed and that successive messages in the communication
   come from the same source.  This memo defines the use of specially
   generated public/private key pairs, known as Purpose Built Keys
   (PBKs), to provide this assurance.  This memo is not a full
   specification of a PBK protocol, but rather a model or framework
   for development of PBK in applications.

Sincerely,

Sandy Ginoza - USC/ISI
