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 : Implementing Company Classification Policy with the
S/MIME Security Label
Author(s) : W. Nicolls
Filename : draft-ietf-smime-seclabel-02.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 02-Oct-00
This document discusses how company security policy for data classification can
be mapped to the S/MIME security label. Actual policies from 3 companies are
used to provide worked examples.
Security labels are an optional security service for S/MIME. A security label
is a set of security information regarding the sensitivity of the content that
is protected by S/MIME encapsulation. A security label can be included in the
signed attributes of any SignedData object. A security label attribute may be
included in either the inner signature, outer signature, or both.
The syntax and processing rules for security labels are described in [ESS].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-smime-seclabel-02.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.
