<t>This document specifies the requirements for the provision of security services to the HyperText Transport Protocol.  These services include confidentiality, integrity, user authentication, and authentication of servers/services, including proxied or gatewayed services.  Such services may be provided as extensions to HTTP, or as    an encapsulating security protocol.  Secondary requirements include ease of integration and support of multiple mechanisms for providing these services.</t></abstract></front>
