ATM
Forum has specified procedures to provide security for user plane, control plane and services [af-sec-0100.002]. The goals of the
specification are to define an infrastructure that: (i) support multiple
algorithms and key lengths, (ii) provides interoperability between those who
support the specification, (iii) provides the ability to negotiate new
algorithms, (iv) maintains compatibility with devices that do not support
security, (v) is scalable to large number of users, (vi) separates
authentication and integrity from confidentiality.
The
primary mechanism for accomplishing this is through protocol encapsulation,
which is the RFC that has been referenced.
Keywords:
Confidentiality, Eavesdropping, Security
