Another reason not to defer the SMIME draft is that those interested in the NCCOE [*] DNS-Based Secure Email Project may benefit from the draft being active and/or published as Experimental.
NCCOE announced the project and requested interest this week: http://nccoe.nist.gov/DNSSecuredEmail/ SMIMEA is specifically included in the scope of this project: The DANE protocol will initially be used to authenticate servers and certificates in two roles in the DNS-Based Security for Email Project: By binding the X.509 certificates used for 1. Transport Layer Security (TLS) to DNS names verified by DNSSEC and supporting the use of these certificates in the mail server-to-mail server communication; 2. Secure Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) to email addresses encoded as DNS names verified by DNSSEC. [*] NCCOE expands to National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence. Although NCCOE has been formed by the US agency NIST, its projects are open to both US and non-US participation. Allison
