Use of Public key cryptography is becoming widespread on the Internet in
such applications as electronic mail and IP Security (IPSEC). Currently,
however, a common public key certificate infrastructure does not exist
which is interoperable with other systems and ubiquitous. In light of
this, we describe a protocol which may be used to exchange or retrieve
certificates (essentially signed public keys) with or from another entity.
The protocol may be used to request certificates from a directory/name
server or from the entity who owns the certificate.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsec-cdp-01.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.
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
No recognizable part in multipart/alternative.
