Introduction + + Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) defined the + Content-Type "application/pkcs7-mime" and the parameter "smime-type", + along with four valid values for the parameter [RFC3851]. + Certificate Management over CMS (CMC) added two new parameter values + [RFC5273]. [RFC5751] replaced RFC 3851 and registered the + application/pkcs7-mime media type, but did not create a registry for + the smime-type values. + + Enhanced Security Services for S/MIME [RFC2634] and Securing X.400 + Content with S/MIME [RFC3854] also add smime-type values. + + When Enrollment over Secure Transport [RFC7030] added another + parameter value, it became clear that a registry for smime-type + parameter values is necessary. Section 2 creates this registry, + registers the current values that are defined in previously published + documents, and specifies the policies for registration of new values. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Leiba Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 7114 Registry for smime-type values January 2014 + + +2. IANA Considerations + + IANA has changed the reference field for the media type application/ + pkcs7-mime to refer to [RFC5751] and this document. This document + replaces the references to RFC 5273 and RFC 7030, which are no longer + needed. + + IANA has created a new sub-registry under the "MIME Media Type Sub- + Parameter Registries" top-level registry. The new registry is + "Parameter Values for the smime-type Parameter", and it references + this document and [RFC5751]. The initial values for the registry are + as follows: + + +----------------------+-----------------------------------+ + | smime-type value | Reference | + +----------------------+-----------------------------------+ + | certs-only | [RFC5751], Section 3.2.2 | + | CMC-Request | [RFC5273], Section 3 | + | CMC-Response | [RFC5273], Section 3 | + | compressed-data | [RFC5751], Section 3.2.2 | + | enveloped-data | [RFC5751], Section 3.2.2 | + | enveloped-x400 | [RFC3854], Section 3.3.1 | + | server-generated-key | [RFC7030], Section 4.4.2 | + | signed-data | [RFC5751], Section 3.2.2 | + | signed-receipt | [RFC2634], Section 2.4, bullet 10 | + | signed-x400 | [RFC3854], Section 3.2.1 | + +----------------------+-----------------------------------+ + + New values can be registered using the Specification Required policy, + as defined in [RFC5226]. The S/MIME Message Specification [RFC5751], + Section 3.2.2, specifies guidelines for assigning new smime-type + parameter values, and those guidelines apply to the assignment of + values in this registry. + +3.
