The S-HTTP specification of 6/94 (describing version 1.0 of the protocol)
has been superceeded by a spec released this month describing version 1.1.
It has been published as an Internet Draft "draft-rescorla-shttp-00.txt",
available in the usual places. You can always find the latest version at
"http://www.commerce.net/information/standards/drafts/shttp.txt".
We haven't gotten it down to the "Cliff Notes" description yet, but you may
find the new spec more readable. Any suggestions on how to improve the spec
is welcomed.
