Re: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-smime-cms-06.txt

S/MIME WG members:

This version includes "fixes" for all of the problems that were raised with
draft-ietf-smime-cms-05.txt.  I hope that these "fixes" do not raise new
issues.  The biggest change is the support for key agreement (e.g.,
Diffie-Hellman) when the originator uses an ephemeral public key without
certified public key.

Sestion 12 remains a place holder.  I hope to complete section 12 prior to
the IETF meeting in August.

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-06.txt
      Pages           : 41
      Date            : 02-Jul-98
      
This document describes the Cryptographic Message Syntax.  This
  syntax is used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or encrypt
  arbitrary messages.

  The Cryptographic Message Syntax is derived from PKCS #7 version 1.5
  [RFC 2315].  Wherever possible, backward compatibility is preserved;
  however, changes were necessary to accommodate attribute certificate
  transfer and key agreement techniques for key management.

  This draft is being discussed on the 'ietf-smime' mailing list.  To
  join the list, send a message to <ietf-smime-request(_at_)imc(_dot_)org> 
with
  the single word 'subscribe' in the body of the message.  Also, there
  is a Web site for the mailing list at <http://www.imc.org/ietf-
  smime/>.
