May use refers to the fact that not using a facility can be a result of an agreement between parties.

I can expect several implementations of iSCSI not include any security.Reason - I can see that customers would often rely on the company's existing VPNs (outboard Router etc) to protect their data (storage or otherwise) over IP networks. From a CIO's viewpoint, this approach may make more sense than extending yet another layer of IPSec into its servers just for storage data. It is not clear to me from the standard if it will be a non-compliance of iSCSI standard. If so, we may potentially have many non-compliances.
