Secure Communication in FRTP

T. Stabell-Kulø

Abstract

To ensure privacy, users of the File Repository Transfer Protocol (Frtp) may require that communication partners are properly authenticated. If one partner wants the communication to be crypted, the other must honor the request. This report describes how authentication and privacy are realized. It is shown, by means of an authentication logic, that the protocol achives its goal in this respect.
