S/MIME is strictly for the content of the email. This area has been left out of the draft because of reasons stemming from the research project I work on. In the general case it is probably a good idea to at least consider this area. As for AUTH, you are completedly right. > > Finally, in section 6.5.3, you state some specific delivery time > constraints.

The times were inspired by the NATO time constraints but shortened because NATO includes the time required for some administrative actions before and after the actual transmission. (E.g. waking the commander of a unit if the message comes in the dead of the night ;-). > outside of that, its a nice document for discussion Then I have achieved a major goal of my research project already ;-) Michael -- **************************************************** | Michael Schmeing E-Mail: schmeing@fgan.de | | FGAN/FKIE Tel: (+49) 228/9435 593 | | Neuenahrer Strasse 20 Fax: (+49) 228/9435 685 | | D-53343 Wachtberg, Germany | **************************************************** _______________________________________________ Ieprep mailing list Ieprep@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ieprep
