Abstract :
The authors deal with a proposal to implement an encryption service in the framework of the ISO Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) architectural model. In particular, some mechanisms for the integration of encryption provision into the OSI upper layers are proposed, showing how they can be fairly fitted in the relevant protocols and services currently defined for the presentation and application layers.<>
