1. When will the next version of the S/MIME spec be posted?
(hopefully, clarifying the FOO(_at_)40-bit issue)
Soon. We're still waiting to hear from the RFC editor and Internet Drafts
editors with the draft that will replace RC2.
2. Is there going to be a working-group formed before the Jeff Schiller
July 1st date?
Highly unlikely. No one has expressed much interest in a charter.
There were not many comments but I think the interest is there. It states
what is needed simply and accurately. Let's get going!
What is going on with RSA and the 2 issues. Was there ever any discussions
or give-and-take on RC2 as the minimum mandatory algorithm by RSA? Is there
real intention on making S/MIME a formal vs defacto standard?
