Re: Why do people fight about S/MIME vs. PGP rather than use MOSS?1997-12-01 14:33:32As far as I remember, MOSS is a MIMEisation of PEM. PEM is based on X.509 and X.500. PEM imposed a centric view of the securi= ty world (1 IPCA) So MOSS imply X.509 and then ASN.1 as S/MIME does. Wrong. MOSS supports lots of different ways of identifying the participants, X.509, user/mail name, key,... with different trust models. You might want to read the specs - see rfc1848, section 4. --Sandy Murphy
