Abstract
We describe mechanisms for practical session-layer
security for Internet-based terminal sessions. We
discuss the tradeoffs of providing security at various
layers of abstractions, from the network to the
session layer. We describe two new mechanisms:
our encrypting, authenticating telnet and our encrypted
session manager (esm).
