A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working Group of
the IETF.
Title : Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure
Author(s) : A. Arsenault, S. Turner
Filename : draft-ietf-pkix-roadmap-06.txt
Pages : 51
Date : 13-Nov-00
This document provides an overview or 'roadmap' of the work done by
the IETF PKIX working group. It describes some of the terminology
used in the working group's documents, and the theory behind an
X.509-based Public Key Infrastructure, Privilege Management
Infrastructure (PMI), and Time Stamping and Data Certification
Infrastructures. It identifies each document developed by the PKIX
working group, and describes the relationships among the various
documents. It also provides advice to would-be PKIX implementors
about some of the issues discussed at length during PKIX
development, in hopes of making it easier to build implementations
that will actually interoperate.

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.
