This would be effectively a separate transport binding. You and anyone else is free to specify one of these and share it with others. It is not the goal of the ebMS specification to describe/specify all possible transport bindings. > > Regards, > > David Fischer > Drummond Group. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Weinreb [mailto:dlw@exceloncorp.com] > Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 12:15 PM > To: david@drummondgroup.com > Cc: dmoberg@cyclonecommerce.com; ebxml-msg@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: Re: S/MIME > > Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 09:24:14 -0500 > From: David Fischer <david@drummondgroup.com> > > Since SMIME is in the payload, we should probably support it > indefinitely -- its just another payload (which unfortunately impacts the > Manifest). > > But isn't this addressed by what Chris Ferris said in earlier mail: > > The ebMS spec doesn't say anything about the payload intentionally. > The reference to S/MIME means that the payload, not the overall > "envelope" can be S/MIME encrypted. > > As for the CPP/A, it's possible that (I don't know enough about S/MIME > yet) nothing new is needed; maybe you can express S/MIME encryption > just by putting in the appropriate Packaging/CompositeList/Encapsulation > element. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription > manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl> > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription > manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
