Or at least a bad joke.
(Excuse me, while I wipe the atomized remains of a latte off my
monitor and keyboard...)

The "S/MIME Freeware Library" (SFL) is a reference implementation of
the new MSP-enhanced S/MIME security protocol. The Library fully
implements the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard
security protocols named S/MIME Version 3, including the optional
security features required to provide Message Security Protocol (MSP)
services. These security features include signed receipts, security
labels, algorithm independence, and mail list information. The SFL
will support both commercial and government algorithms.
The latest drafts of the IETF standards upon which the SFL is based
are available at the Internet Mail Consortium (IMC) web site. The
IMC has also established an SFL web page and maintains an SFL mail
list (imc-sfl) which will be used to: distribute information
regarding SFL releases; discuss SFL-related issues; and provide a
means for SFL users to provide feedback, comments, bug reports, etc.
Subscription information for the imc-sfl mail list is at the IMC SFL
web page.
The "CMS KEA and SKIPJACK Conventions" Internet-Draft describes the
conventions for using the S/MIME v3 CMS EnvelopedData and
EncryptedData content types with the KEA and SKIPJACK encryption
algorithm. The document is intended to promote interoperability
between implementations using KEA and SKIPJACK with CMS. Hints for
using the FORTEZZA Card and FORTEZZA Cryptologic Interface (CI)
Library to meet the requirements stated in the "CMS KEA and SKIPJACK
Conventions" document are included in this text file.
J.G. Van Dyke Associates (VDA), the developer of the S/MIME
Freeware Library, has also established an SFL page at the VDA web
site. Additional SFL information may be available there.
