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 : Simple Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP)
Author(s) : A. Malpani, R. Housley, T. Freeman
Filename : draft-ietf-pkix-scvp-12.txt
Pages : 44

SCVP allows a client to offload certificate handling to a server.
The server can provide the client with a variety of valuable
information about the certificate, such as whether the certificate
is valid, a certification path to a trust anchor, and revocation
status. SCVP has many purposes, including simplifying client
implementations and allowing companies to centralize trust and
policy management.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pkix-scvp-12.txt".
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.
