A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Open Specification for Pretty Good Privacy of the IETF.

Title : OpenPGP Message Format
Author : Werner Koch
Filename : draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc4880bis-01.txt
Pages : 109
Date : 2017-01-01

Abstract:
{ Work in progress to update the OpenPGP specification from RFC4880 }

This document is maintained in order to publish all necessary
information needed to develop interoperable applications based on the
OpenPGP format. It is not a step-by-step cookbook for writing an
application. It describes only the format and methods needed to
read, check, generate, and write conforming packets crossing any
network. It does not deal with storage and implementation questions.
It does, however, discuss implementation issues necessary to avoid
security flaws.

OpenPGP software uses a combination of strong public-key and
symmetric cryptography to provide security services for electronic
communications and data storage. These services include
confidentiality, key management, authentication, and digital
signatures. This document specifies the message formats used in
OpenPGP.


The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is:

There's also a htmlized version available at:

A diff from the previous version is available at:
https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc4880bis-01


Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.

Hi!

The previous draft was about to expire and thus I published an update.
The only new thing is the Issuer Fingerprint signature subpacket.


Salam-Shalom,

Werner

Are there open issues that need to be addressed? Or do you think this
version is ready?

No, there are lots of open issues :-(. I published the I-D only to
avoid its expiration.
