A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Privacy-Enhanced Electronic
Mail Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Security Multiparts for MIME: Multipart/Signed and
Multipart/Encrypted
Author(s) : J. Galvin, S. Murphy, S. Crocker, N. Freed
Filename : draft-ietf-pem-sigenc-03.txt

This document defines a framework within which security services may be
applied to MIME body parts. MIME, an acronym for "Multipurpose Internet
Mail Extensions", defines the format of the contents of Internet mail
messages and provides for multi-part textual and non-textual message
bodies. The new content types are subtypes of multipart: signed and
encrypted. Each will contain two body parts: one for the protected data
and one for the control information necessary to remove the protection. The
type and contents of the control information body parts are determined by
the value of the protocol parameter of the enclosing multipart/signed or
multipart/encrypted content type, which is required to be present.

Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ds(_dot_)internic(_dot_)net(_dot_) In the
body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pem-sigenc-03.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
