Abstract

MIME [RFC-1341, RFC-1521] defines a format and general framework for the representation of a wide variety of data types in Internet mail. This document defines one particular type of MIME data, the application/pgp type, for 'pretty good' privacy, authentication, and encryption in Internet mail. The application/pgp MIME type is intended to facilitate the wider interoperation of private mail across a wide variety of hardware and software platforms.
