Please direct all significant commentary to the public IETF LAMPS mailing list: spasm@ietf.org A.1. Document History Significant changes between version -02 and -03: * "Tombstone" this document in favor of draft-ietf-lamps-header- protection Significant changes between version -01 and -02: * Added S/MIME test vectors in addition to PGP/MIME * Legacy Display parts should now be text/plain and not text/ rfc822-headers * Cryptographic Payload must have protected-headers parameter set to v1 * Test vector sample Message-Ids have been normalized * Added encrypted-only (unsigned) test vectors, at the suggestion of Russ Housley Changes between version -00 and -01: * Credit Randall for "correct horse battery staple". * Adjust test vectors to ensure no line in the generated .txt format exceeds 72 chars. * Minor formatting cleanup to appease idnits. * Update references to more recent documents (RFC 2822 -> 5322, -00 to -01 of draft-ietf-lamps-header-protection-requirements). Appendix B. Acknowledgements The set of constructs and algorithms in this document has a previous working title of "Memory Hole", but that title is no longer used as different implementations gained experience in working with it. These ideas were tested and fine-tuned in part by the loose collaboration of MUA developers known as [Autocrypt]. Einarsson, et al.
