RFC 5485: Digital Signatures on Internet-Draft Documents

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8358. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document specifies the conventions for digital signatures on Internet-Drafts. The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) is used to create a detached signature, which is stored in a separate companion file so that no existing utilities are impacted by the addition of the digital signature. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
