S/MIME Example Keys and Certificates
draft-dkg-lamps-samples-05
Abstract
The S/MIME development community benefits from sharing samples of
signed or encrypted data. This document facilitates such
collaboration by defining a small set of X.509v3 certificates and
keys for use when generating such samples.
