A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Cryptographic Message Syntax
Author(s) : R. Housley
Filename : draft-ietf-smime-cms-03.txt
Pages : 32
Date : 16-Feb-98
This document describes the Cryptographic Message Syntax. This syntax is used
to digitally sign, digest, or encrypt arbitrary messages.
The Cryptographic Message Syntax is derived from PKCS #7 version 1.5. Wherever
possible, backward compatibility is preserved; however, changes were necessary
to accommodate attribute certificate transfer and key agreement techniques for
key management.

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ds(_dot_)internic(_dot_)net(_dot_) In
the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-smime-cms-03.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
