Hi Hugo, Wednesday (3 January 2001)
Per our discussion during the IETF IPP WG Telecon earlier today about
an (optional) digital signature envelope for downloadable driver code,
to supply object-oriented authentication in ADDITION to the regular IPP
channel-oriented security.
Below are the various RFC references for S/MIME and PGP that I could
find in the latest RFC Index at:
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc-index.txt
Each RFC is available by HTTP and FTP. FTP access is at:
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfcNNNN.txt
(where 'NNNN' is the four-digit RFC number, with leading zeros)
