[Smcwg-public] Background for discussion of Legacy Profiles

[Stephen Davidson via Smcwg-public]

Hello all:



I attach the summary that we reviewed in the SMCWG call yesterday.



It highlights the differences between the Legacy generation profiles and the 
Multipurpose/Strict profiles, including links to the relevant text sections in 
the S/MIME BR.



https://cabforum.org/posts/2024/2024-04-10-legacy-deprecation/SMCWG_20240410_Final.pdf



This should facilitate review and feedback to help the SMCWG determine 
appropriate steps and timelines to migrate to the Multipurpose/Strict profiles.



Regards, Stephen
