Authorization services are required for numerous Internet protocols,
including TLS, IPSec, and S/MIME. The X.509 Attribute Certificate
provides a structure that can form the basis for such services
[X.509]. This specification defines a profile for the use of X.509
Attribute Certificates to provide authorization services for
Internet protocols. Some optional features are also specified which
are not required for conformance to the base profile.

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.
