      The IESG has approved publication of the following Internet-Drafts as
      Proposed Standards:

          o Securing X.400 Content with S/MIME
              <draft-ietf-smime-x400wrap-06.txt>
          o Transporting S/MIME Objects in X.400
              <draft-ietf-smime-x400transport-07.txt>

      These documents are the product of the S/MIME Working Group. The IESG

Technical Summary

      Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) to digital signature and encryption
      services to X.400 content.

      "Transporting S/MIME Objects in X.400" describes protocol options for
      conveying CMS-protected objects associated with S/MIME version 3 over
      an X.400 message transfer system.
