For those people who do not also watch the PKIX list ....
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working
Group
of the IETF.
Title : Certificate Request Message Format
Author(s) : D. Solo, C. Adams, D. Kemp, M. Myers
Filename : draft-ietf-pkix-crmf-00.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 25-Feb-98
This document describes the Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF).
This syntax is used to convey a request for a certificate to a
Certification Authority (CA) (possibly via a Registration Authority
(RA)) for the purposes of X.509 certificate production. The request
will typically include a public key and associated registration
information.
The key words ''MUST'', ''REQUIRED'', ''SHOULD'', ''RECOMMENDED'',
and ''MAY'' in this document (in uppercase, as shown)
are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ds(_dot_)internic(_dot_)net(_dot_) In
the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pkix-crmf-00.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.
