The IESG has approved publication of the following Internet-Drafts as
Proposed Standards:
o Cryptographic Message Syntax
<draft-ietf-smime-rfc2630bis-08.txt>
o Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) Algorithms
<draft-ietf-smime-cmsalg-08.txt>
These documents are the product of the S/MIME Mail Security Working
Group. The IESG contact persons are Jeffrey Schiller and Steve
Bellovin.
Technical Summary
These documents constitute a revision to an existing RFC, RFC2630.
These documents obsolate RFC3211, by merging it in to the main
specification. Specific algorithms that were previously specified in the
main CMS document are now moved to a separate CMSALG document.
Working Group Summary
There was concensus on this document set. Minor issues arose during
LAST CALL, which caused both RFC2630bis and CMSALG to be updated
slightly.
Protocol Quality
The documents have been reviewed for the IESG by Marcus Leech.
