Talk:PEM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PEM is also used to refer to the encoding format used by Privacy Enhanced Mail and defined in RFC 1421. This format is also used for representing keys and signatures in openssl (and possibly in other contexts).
I don't know if there should be a separate line for "PEM format" or the existing line for "Privacy-Enhanced Electronic Mail" should be changed to read "Privacy Enhanced (Electronic) Mail and the data encoding format it uses"
(Incidentally, RFC 1421 uses "PEM" as an acronym for "Privacy Enhanced Mail" not "Privacy-enhanced Electonic Mail".)
