PLASMA - Policy Augmented S/Mime 

Description: Current S/MIME mechanisms provide cryptographic access to the message based on the identity of the recipient at the time of transmission. Any additional access control enforcement depends on the configuration of the recipients email client. Several Internet-Drafts have been submitted that establish a more robust access control mechanism where cryptographic access to the message is only granted after the access check.

This proposed working group would develop a framework for enforcing a more robust access control mechanism, based on existing CMS, S/MIME and SAML-based policy enforcement standards. The working group will also develop any necessary extensions to these base protocols specific to this problem space. 

Given the mutual interest in S/mime - this work may be of interest to some of you.
