This memo describes a syntax for securing messages sent using the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which forms the basis for the
World Wide Web. Secure HTTP (S-HTTP) provides independently
applicable security services for transaction confidentiality,
authenticity/integrity and non-repudiability of origin.
The protocol emphasizes maximum flexibility in choice of key
management mechanisms, security policies and cryptographic algorithms
by supporting option negotiation between parties for each
transaction.
This document is a product of the Web Transaction Security Working Group of the
IETF.
