GnuPG and OpenPGP
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
The current OpenPGP draft expires 1999-02.
|
||||
See RFC2440 for a description of OpenPGP.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenPGP is an Internet-Draft. Internet-Drafts are working
|
||||
documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas,
|
||||
and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute
|
||||
working documents as Internet-Drafts.
|
||||
|
||||
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
|
||||
months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents
|
||||
at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as
|
||||
reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
|
||||
|
||||
To view the entire list of current Internet-Drafts, please check the
|
||||
"1id-abstracts.txt" listing contained in the Internet-Drafts Shadow
|
||||
Directories on ftp.is.co.za (Africa), ftp.nordu.net (Northern
|
||||
Europe), ftp.nis.garr.it (Southern Europe), munnari.oz.au (Pacific
|
||||
Rim), ftp.ietf.org (US East Coast), or ftp.isi.edu (US West Coast).
