I apologize for the delay, I have been doing more traveling than I expected. Would the following text make things clearer? \ Jim When sending a Plasma enabled message, there are three different classes of recipients that need to be considered. The information sent for these three classes differs. The three classes are: 1. No Policy Protection - These recipients are those for which no Plasma policy protection is to be applied. Often times the sender of the message will fall into this class of recipient. For recipients in this class the Plasma server is not involved, the sender creates a lock box as if the Plasma server was not present and places the lock box in to the recipient info structure as normal. 2. Policy protected for a specific recipient - This case exists to allow a message to be policy protected, but also not allow the policy server to any access to the message. For recipients of this class access can be denied to existing recipients by the Plasma server, but new recipients cannot be added to the list. For recipients in this class, the sender agent builds a normal recipient info structure for the recipient, but instead of placing it in the message direct, it is given to the Plasma server along with the policy to be satisfied before the lock box is released to the recipient. The Plasma server includes this recipient inside of the Plasma lock box which is returned to the sender for inclusion in the recipient info structure. 3. Policy Protected generic recipient - These recipients are those for which the inclusion in the group of individuals able to decrypt the message is based solely on the policy. For these recipients, the sender supplies the Plasma server with the policy to be applied for inclusion as a recipient and the content encryption key. The server then returns this information in it's Plasma encrypted lock box for inclusion in the recipient info structure. This recipient class must be used if a server is going to do pre-approval of recipients as described in section XXX of [Requirements]. > -----Original Message----- > From: plasma-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:plasma-bounces@ietf.org] On > Behalf Of Ed Simon > Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 6:12 PM > To: plasma@ietf.org > Subject: [plasma] Clarification of how client applications handle the LockBox > in client in <plasma:GetCMSToken> elements > > I would like to see the clarification of how client applications handle the > LockBox.
