1. Introduction
This document defines a new media type for TimeStampedData envelopes.
A TimeStampedData envelope, described in [RFC5544], binds a file with
one or more time-stamp tokens obtained for that file. A media type
registration, lacking in [RFC5544], enhances shareability.
2. Registration
Type name: application
Subtype name: timestamped-data
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: none
Encoding considerations: binary
Security considerations:
See the Security Considerations in the published specification.
Interoperability considerations: none
Published specification: RFC 5544
Applications which use this media type:
Any application that exchanges TimeStampedData envelopes over a
MIME-based transport and possibly processes them, either directly
or via external handlers or viewers. Such applications may be,
for instance, digital signature applications, archival systems,
email clients, web browsers, etc.
