I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc2440bis-19.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line
Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the An Open Specification for
Pretty Good Privacy Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: OpenPGP Message Format
	Author(s)	: J. Callas, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc2440bis-19.txt
	Pages		: 84

This document is maintained in order to publish all
necessary
    information needed to develop interoperable applications
based on
    the OpenPGP format. It is not a step-by-step cookbook
for writing an
    application. It describes only the format and methods
needed to
    read, check, generate, and write conforming packets
crossing any
    network. It does not deal with storage and
implementation questions.
    It does, however, discuss implementation issues
necessary to avoid
    security flaws.

    OpenPGP software uses a combination of strong public-key
and
    symmetric cryptography to provide security services for
electronic
    communications and data storage. These services include
    confidentiality, key management, authentication, and
digital
    signatures. This document specifies the message formats
used in
    OpenPGP.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org 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.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail
reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the
Internet-Draft.
