Technical Summary
This document specifies the conventions for digital signatures on
Internet-Drafts. The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) is used
to create a detached signature, which is stored in a separate
companion file so that no existing utilities are impacted by the
addition of the digital signature.
Working Group Summary
This document is not the product of any IETF working group.
However, the S/MIME Working Group was asked to comment, and the
comments that were received were all resolved.
Document Quality
OpenSSL was used to generate a sample signature file. OpenSSL and
at least one other CMS implementation were able to validate the
signature.
