The IESG has approved the Internet Draft "The Content-MD5 Header" <draft-ietf-822ext-md5-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Internet Message Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are John Klensin and Erik Huizer. Technical Summary This memo specifies an optional header field, Content-MD5, for use with MIME-Conformant messages. This header provides a message integrity protection (MIC) to detect accidental corruption incurred in the course of email transport. Working Group Summary This optional extension to MIME is based on work originating in the PEM Working Group and is a straight forward extension to the base MIME protocol. Protocol Quality This protocol has not yet been implemented but the basic MIC mechanisms are well understood and their application to MIME is believed to be implementable.
