Hi Miller,


Thank you for your email.

I plan to propose a BCP or an informational RFC.
(If possible, proposing a BCP is best as me.)

Best regards,
Kohei

me.

Subject: [smime] A bit better operational practice?

Hi, SMIME list


There are many of MUA implementations for S/MIME and some banks or
corporations are using digital signature for their messages.
But in such cases, there are several points would hopefully be care in
technical aspects of S/MIME.

Displaying assurance of organization of signer, keys and certificates
management criteria in MUA and CRL delivery into MUA are crucial
issues to enhace usage or deployment of acutual use of S/MIME.

I would think about drafting a document as follows:
-----
  MUA and for qualified signatures:
   - certificate selection in MUA
   - for unified display (like green bar in browser) of showing
     messages in MUA with valid/non-valid signatures
   - operational pracice for digital signatures
     (e.g. key length, validity, key store)

  Certificates for S/MIME:
   - operational pracice for digital signatures
     (e.g. key length, validity, key store, revocation control)
   - certificate policy or singing policy for signer(S/MIME)
    e.g.) Bank, corporation, goverment and/or for qualified signature

  etc.(other items in my mind)
-----

Are they impossible to be toss as a draft?

If you have had considered such point of operational issues,
I would hope to share and get your reply.
(or talk to me either, in Berlin)
