The registration request attached below was posted to ietf-types@uninett.no
on June 19, 1996. Since there have been no comments, I would like to see
this type registered.
MEDIA TYPE NAME:
application
MEDIA SUBTYPE NAME:
set-registration-initiation
PURPOSE:
This media subtype identifies a message that provides initialization
information prior to SET's registration sequence. Registration is the
process by which entities obtain X.509v3 certificates which are used
for digital signatures and for exchanging encryption keys.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS:
none
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS:
none
ENCODING CONSIDERATIONS:
Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) messages are in a binary format,
using ASN.1 DER encoding as specified in ITU-T Recommendation X.690.
These encodings may include encrypted information which is itself
DER encoded.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
SET is designed so that all sensitive information is either encrypted
or blinded and as such secure communication channels are not required
for privacy reasons. Although an eavesdropper observing SET messages
can perform basic traffic analysis, the security of financial and
and other private information is ensured through the use of encryption
privacy and digital signatures for authentication of origin and integrity
protection. No SET message contains "executable" information of any kind.
PUBLISHED SPECIFICATION:
The published specification is available from either http://www.visa.com or
http://www.mastercard.com.
