PLASMA - Policy Augmented S/Mime
Description: Current S/MIME mechanisms provide cryptographic access to the
message based on the identity of the recipient at the time of transmission. Any
additional access control enforcement depends on the configuration of the
recipients email client. Several Internet-Drafts have been submitted that
establish a more robust access control mechanism where cryptographic access to
the message is only granted after the access check.
This proposed working group would develop a framework for enforcing a more
robust access control mechanism, based on existing CMS, S/MIME and SAML-based
policy enforcement standards. The working group will also develop any necessary
extensions to these base protocols specific to this problem space.
Given the mutual interest in S/mime - this work may be of interest to some of
you.
