Creation of a Registry for smime-type Parameter Values

Overview

RFC 7114, “Creation of a Registry for smime-type Parameter Values”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2014 by B. Leiba. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) defined the Content-Type parameter "smime-type". As the list of defined values for that parameter has increased, it has become clear that a registry is needed to document these values. This document creates the registry, registers the current values, and specifies the policies for registration of new values.

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
