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).
