Description of Working Group:
The transmission and reception of non-alterable=20
documents is an essential communications medium.
Several protocols and services have been=20
developed over the years to facilitate document=20
transmission, including the GSTN Fax service [ITU -
T.30]. Within the IETF several protocols have been=20
developed that facilitate document transmission,=20
including RFC2305 [Store and Forward Internet Fax]=20
and the Internet Print Protocol [IPP].
Each of these services has one or more severe=20
limitations or restrictions that may not be suitable for=20
all document transmissions.
Among those limitations that could be applied to one=20
or more of the above services:
1. Limitations on Quality (resolution or color=20
transmission)
2. Ability to repudiate request for receipt=20
confirmation (MDN =AD DSN)
3. Lack of clear and unambiguous identification of=20
sender or recipient
4. Lack of ability to monitor progress of document=20
transmission in real time
5. Inability to establish reliable knowledge or=20
negotiation of recipient capabilities
6. Inability to satisfy legal as well as general=20
custom and practice for document transmission=20
technologies. (Typically these are applied to=20
GSTN Fax)
7. Least Common Denominators for Document
Transmission
8. Inability to establish security and confidentiality=20
of document transmission
The purpose of the work group will be to investigate=20
current work within the IETF and identify protocols,=20
procedures and policies that can satisfy the=20
requirements for document transmission with=20
a high degree of fidelity and reliability.
It is believed that elements of the Internet Print=20
Protocol 1.1, if extended and amended may=20
overcome many if not most of the limitations=20
described above. Work would define an appropriate=20
=93super set=94 of existing IPP 1.1 functionality to satisfy
these requirements.
The work group may consider attribute extensions=20
and additional service requirements to IPP 1.1 that=20
would permit IPP to intreoperate with other=20
document transmission services such as RFC2305=20
[Fax over SMTP] and traditional T.30 fax on the=20
GSTN.
The WG will not propose any revisions or extensions=20
to IETF Internet Fax standards [RFC2305] and its=20
successors.
The group will take note of other areas within the=20
IETF that may have direct bearing on reliable=20
document delivery.
Relevant areas include: =20
- Security, Authentication and Encryption (SSL3 -
TLS)
- Sender Identification (vCard)
- RFC2301 File Formats
- Digital Signatures and Certificates
- Third Party Receipt Confirmation
The working group will coordinate its activities with=20
the Internet Print Protocol working group [IPP] and=20
the Internet Fax working group [FAX] as well other=20
document transmission related standards bodies=20
and related work groups, notably the ITU-T Study=20
