Re: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-opes-smtp-security-00.txt

Folks,

please comment on the attached draft. It's an attempt to address the "IAB Consideration for OPES" in the context on SMTP.

We decided to move this draft forward as a WG document, as it sets the context for any possible OPES/SMTP work.

Once this document is done, we will decide if there's life left (or coming back) in the WG to take on the actual OPES/SMTP protocol work, or if we leave any further protocol work for possible submission by individuals.

Thanks,
  Markus

        Title           : Integrity, privacy and security in OPES for SMTP
        Author(s)       : M. Stecher
        Filename        : draft-ietf-opes-smtp-security-00.txt

   The Open Pluggable Edge Services (OPES) framework is application
   agnostic.  Application specific adaptations extend that framework.
   Previous work has focussed on HTTP and work for SMTP is in progress.
   These protocols differ fundamentally in the way data flows and it
   turns out that existing OPES requirements and IAB considerations for
   OPES need to be reviewed with regards to how well they fit for SMTP
   adaptation.  This document analysis aspects about the integrity of
   SMTP and mail message adaptation by OPES systems and privacy and
   security issues when the OPES framework is adapted to SMTP and lists
   requirements that must be considered when creating the "SMTP
   adaptation with OPES" document.

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.
                
                
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
