Even newer versions of the drafts

1997-11-08 16:43:45
Again, new versions of the S/MIME v2 drafts are now available. Please
look them over, and if there's no problems within a week, I'll consider
them final and turn them in to hopefully become informational RFCs.

==========

Message draft: <http://www.imc.org/draft-dusse-smime-msg>

The following changes were made between the -05 and -06 revisions of this
draft:

Removed discussion of "application/mime" wrapping because no one has
implemented it and because the specification for application/mime is in
flux. This entailed removing section 3.4.3.4, a bit of the table near the
end of section 3.8, and text throughout appendix F.

Changed the case of SMIMECapabilities to sMIMECapabilities everywhere.

Changed the references for ASN.1, BER, and DER back to their 1988
documents.

Fixed error in the MIME examples in 3.1.4 (left off the C-T-E).

Removed antique text from first paragraph 3.5.

Fixed section numbering in Appendix A.

In A.1, changed "other than 32" to "greater than 32".

Removed "smime-type" from E.2 and E.3, where they appeared by mistake.


==========

Certificates draft: <http://www.imc.org/draft-dusse-smime-cert>

The following changes were made between the -04 and -05 revisions of this
draft:

There was general agreement that this draft should reflect reality of
S/MIME v2 implementations and not what "should be", which is left to S/MIME
v3. The changes listed here are to bring this draft back to what is being
deployed today.

Changed the end of 2.3 to only require DN chaining.

Changed the MUST to SHOULD for MD2 hashing in 4.3 and 5.2.

Made the "certificates" in 2.2 "end entity" certificates.

Removed certificatePolicies from 4.4.

In 5.1, changed "Clients MUST handle multiple valid CA certificates" to
"Clients SHOULD...".

In 5.2, changed the MUST to SHOULD for the certification-request
attributes.

In 3.2, changed the SHOULD to MUS for including the email address during DN
creation. Added text in 5.2 to support this.
