The IESG has approved the following document: - 'S/MIME signature verification extension to JMAP' (draft-ietf-jmap-smime-12.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the JSON Mail Access Protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Murray Kucherawy and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jmap-smime/ Technical Summary This spec extends the JMAP Mail Protocol (RFC8621) with a way to obtain information about S/MIME signature verification status. Working Group Summary This document originally included both the verification and the creation of S/MIME signatures, but was split into two documents and this one is just the verification part. The main discussion was around cached validation status and being able to know if the server successfully validated the message in the past once a key has expired. There was also discussion about whether there was any point in describing what specifically caused validation to fail, or just a simple yes/no on validity. This document was discussed in multiple IETF sessions, as well as on the mailing list, and everybody was happy with the end result. Document Quality This spec is easy to implement for a server which already validates S/MIME. It can either store information or always calculate in real-time. It uses the standard JMAP extension mechanism to add new data items to the existing Email object, so will be familiar to anybody who has implemented JMAP.
