S/MIME provides a method to send and receive secure MIME messages, and certificates are an integral part of S/MIME agent processing.  S/MIME agents validate certificates as described in RFC 3280, the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile.  S/MIME agents must meet the certificate processing requirements in this document as well as those in RFC 3280. [STANDARDS-TRACK]",
