In many scenarios, users need to be able to ensure and prove the 
   existence and integrity of data, especially digitally signed data, in 
   a common and reproducible way over a long and possibly undetermined 
   period of time.  This document specifies the syntax and processing of 
   an Evidence Record, designed for long-term non-repudiation of 
   existence of data, which particularly can be used for conservation of 
   evidence of digitally signed data.

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
Internet-Draft.
