A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Web Transaction Security
Working Group of the IETF.
Note: This revision reflects comments received during the last call period.
Title : The Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol
Author(s) : E. Rescorla, A. Schiffman
Filename : draft-ietf-wts-shttp-04.txt
Pages : 43
Date : 03/25/1997
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.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-ietf-wts-shttp-04.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-wts-shttp-04.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
