INTERNET - DRAFT MIME Security

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress." Abstract This document describes how the OpenPGP Message Format [1] can be used to provide privacy and authentication using the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) security content types described in RFC 1847 [2]. This draft is being discussed on the "ietf-openpgp" mailing list. To join the list, send a message to with the single word "subscribe" in the subject.
