Mail Working Group of the IETF.
Title : MIME Object Security Services

This document defines MIME Object Security Services(MOSS), a protocol that
uses the multipart/signed and multipart/encrypted framework [7] to apply
digital signature and encryption services to MIME objects. The services
are offered through the use of end-to-end cryptography between an
originator and a recipient at the application layer. Asymmetric (public
key) cryptography is used in support of the digital signature service and
encryption key management. Symmetric (secret key) cryptography is used in
support of the encryption service. The procedures are intended to be
compatible with a wide range of public key management approaches, including
both ad hoc and certificate-based schemes. Mechanisms are provided to
support many public key management approaches.

Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ds(_dot_)internic(_dot_)net(_dot_) In the
body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pem-mime-08.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.
