    abstract =  {Authentication is a common security issue for the design of Internet protocols. A wide variety of authentication technologies are available. A common problem is knowing which technology to choose or which of a variety of essentially similar implementations of a given technique to choose. This memo provides a survey of available authentication mechanisms and guidance on selecting one for a given protocol.},
