%% You should probably cite draft-ietf-dane-smime instead of this I-D. @techreport{hoffman-dane-smime-03, number = {draft-hoffman-dane-smime-03}, type = {Internet-Draft}, institution = {Internet Engineering Task Force}, publisher = {Internet Engineering Task Force}, note = {Work in Progress}, url = {https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hoffman-dane-smime/03/}, author = {Paul E. Hoffman and Jakob Schlyter}, title = {{Using Secure DNS to Associate Certificates with Domain Names For S/MIME}}, pagetotal = 6, year = 2012, month = mar, day = 9, abstract = {S/MIME uses certificates for authenticating and encrypting messages. Users want their mail user agents to securely associate a certificate with the sender of an encrypted and/or signed message. DNSSEC provides a mechanism for a zone operator to sign DNS information directly. This way, bindings of certificates to users within a domain are asserted not by external entities, but by the entities that operate the DNS. This document describes how to use secure DNS to associate an S/MIME user's certificate with the intended domain name. IMPORTANT NOTE: This draft is intentionally sketchy. It is meant as a possible starting point for the DANE WG if it wants to consider making a protocol similar to TLSA, as described in draft-ietf-dane-protocol, but that applies to S/MIME. The WG may or may not want to adopt such work, or if it does, may want to use a very different scheme from the one described here.}, }
