A Revised 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 Certificate Handling
Author(s) : B. Ramsdell
Filename : draft-ietf-smime-cert-04.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 06-May-98
S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), described in
[SMIME-MSG], provides a method to send and receive secure MIME
messages. Before using a public key to provide security services, the
S/MIME agent MUST certify that the public key is valid. S/MIME agents
MUST use X.509 certificates to validate public keys as described in
the ITU-T Recommendation X.509 (1997) [X.509] and the Internet Public
Key Infrastructure (PKIX) X.509 Certificate and CRL Profile [KEYM].
S/MIME agents MUST meet the S/MIME-specific requirements documented in
this I-D in addition to those stated in [X.509] and [KEYM].

Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ds(_dot_)internic(_dot_)net(_dot_) In
the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-smime-cert-04.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.
