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 : Certificate Distribution Specification
Author(s) : J. Schaad
Filename : draft-ietf-smime-certdist-00.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 29-May-98
Current methods of publishing certificates in directory
services are restricted to just certificates. This
document provides a method of publishing certificates with
secondary support information such as the
SMimeCapabilities attribute (containing bulk algorithm
support) in a way that is both authenticated and bound to
a given certificate.

Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_) In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-smime-certdist-00.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.
