MIME Security with Pretty Good Privacy BOF

Friday, December 13 at 0900-1130
================================

DESCRIPTION:

PGP has an installed based of over two million users worldwide to date.
Now, with the requirements for multipart internet mail extensions, the 
user population is requesting integration of PGP with MIME. This proposal 
makes use of the elegant solution proposed in RFC1847, which defines 
security multipart formats for MIME. The security multiparts clearly 
separate the signed message body from the signature, and have a number of 
other desirable properties. This proposed internet standard defines three 
new content types for implementing security and privacy with PGP: 

1.  application/pgp-encrypted, 
2. application/pgp-signature, and 
3.  application/pgp-keys. 

This draft will solve interoprability issues for the large pgp user 
community.
