RFC 2045 Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) and Secure/MIME

URL:      http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) [RFC2045-RFC2049] extends the format of Internet mail to allow non-US ASCI textual messages, non-textual messages, multi-part message bodies, and non-US ASCI information in the headers. The Secure/MIME (S/MIME) working group is developing specifications, e.g., [RFC 2311], to send and receive secure MIME data, providing the following cryptographic security services for electronic messaging applications: authentication, message integrity and non-repudiation of origin (using digital signatures) and privacy and data security (using encryption).
