IETF Instant Messaging and Presence Protocol Specifications Approved.

A public message from the
Internet Engineering Steering Group announces the approval of five proposed
standard IETF Working Drafts from the Instant Messaging and Presence Protocol
(IMPP) WG.

 

The documents include:

"Presence Information
Data Format (PIDF)"

"Common Profile for
Instant Messaging (CPIM)"

"Common Presence and
Instant Messaging: Message Format"

"Address Resolution for
Instant Messaging and Presence"

"Common Profile for
Presence (CPP)"

 

The IMPP WG specifications
form the basis for a mechanism by which multiple distinct Instant Messaging
applications may pass messages among the different systems while retaining the
ability to use end-to-end encryption, integrity protection, and a shared
framework for presence information.
