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 : S/MIME Version 3 Message Specification
Author(s) : B. Ramsdell
Filename : draft-ietf-smime-msg-04.txt
Pages : 24
Date : 06-May-98
S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) provides a
consistent way to send and receive secure MIME data. Based on the
popular Internet MIME standard, S/MIME provides the following
cryptographic security services for electronic messaging applications:
authentication, message integrity and non-repudiation of origin (using
digital signatures) and privacy and data security (using encryption).
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_) In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-smime-msg-04.txt".
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.
