Title : Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME)
Version 3.2 Certificate Handling
Author(s) : S. Turner, B. Ramsdell
Filename : draft-ietf-smime-3850bis-11.txt
Pages : 22

This document specifies conventions for X.509 certificate usage by
Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) v3.2 agents.
S/MIME provides a method to send and receive secure MIME messages,
and certificates are an integral part of S/MIME agent processing.
S/MIME agents validate certificates as described in RFC 5280, the
Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile.
S/MIME agents must meet the certificate processing requirements in
this document as well as those in RFC 5280. This document obsoletes
RFC 3850.

This version includes revisions to adopt DSA key sizes comparable to RSA
and updates the security considerations accordingly. Tim Polk says an
approved FIPS 186-3 is going to be published any day now and this will
save us some time (we were pinned on it being published anyway).
