The PKIX (Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509)) Working Group of the
   IETF (The Internet Engineering Task Force) has defined a number of
   certificate management protocols.  These protocols are primarily
   focused on X.509v3 public-key certificates.  However, it is sometimes
   desirable to manage certificates in alternative formats as well.
   This document specifies how such certificates may be requested using
   the CRMF (Certificate Request Message Format) syntax that is used by
   several different protocols.  It also explains how alternative
   certificate formats may be incorporated into such popular protocols
   as PKIX-CMP (PKIX Certificate Management Protocol) and CMC
   (Certificate Management Messages over CMS).

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
