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 : Use of the IDEA Encryption Algorithm in CMS
Author(s) : S. Teiwes, P. Hartmann, D. Kuenzi

Date : 17-Aug-00
This memo specifies how to incorporate IDEA (International Data
Encryption Algorithm) [IDEA] into S/MIME [SMIME2, SMIME3] as
an additional strong algorithm for symmetric encryption. For
organizations who make use of IDEA for data security purposes
it is of high interest that IDEA is also available in S/MIME.
The intention of this memo is to provide the OIDs and algorithms
required that IDEA can be included in S/MIME for symmetric content
and key encryption.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-smime-idea-06.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.
