       Title     : Security Multiparts for MIME:  
                   Multipart/Signed and Multipart/Encrypted

This document defines two new content types for specifying the application 
of security services to MIME message bodies.  MIME, an acronym for 
"Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions", defines the format of the contents
of Internet mail messages and provides for multi-part textual and 
non-textual message bodies.  The new content types are subtypes of 
multipart: signed and encrypted.  Each will contain two body parts: one for
the protected data and one for the control information necessary to remove 
the protection.  The type and contents of the control information body 
parts are determined by the value of the protocol parameter of the 
enclosing multipart/signed or multipart/encrypted content type, which is 
required to be present.                                                    


       Title     : PEM Security Services and MIME                          
       Author(s) : S. Crocker, N. Freed, J. Galvin, S. Murphy
       Filename  : draft-ietf-pem-mime-07.txt
       Pages     : 34
       Date      : 11/23/1994

This document specifies how the services of MIME and PEM can be used in a 
complementary fashion.  MIME, an acronym for "Multipurpose Internet Mail 
Extensions", defines the format of the contents of Internet mail messages 
and provides for multi-part textual and non-textual message bodies.  
PEM, an acronym for "Privacy Enhanced Mail", provides message 
authentication/integrity and message encryption services for 
Internet mail messages.
