4[Please, this is currently a draft.  I made a first try at finding
5 documents that describe parts of what OpenSSL implements.  There are
6 big gaps, and I've most certainly done something wrong.  Please
7 correct whatever is...  Also, this note should be removed when this
8 file is reaching a somewhat correct state.        -- Richard Levitte]

12from miscellaneous indexes, like rfc-index.txt (index of RFCs),
131id-index.txt (index of Internet drafts) and the like.

15To find the latest possible RFCs, it's recommended to either browse
16ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/ or go to http://www.rfc-editor.org/ and
17use the search mechanism found there.
18To find the latest possible Internet drafts, it's recommended to
19browse ftp://ftp.isi.edu/internet-drafts/.
20To find the latest possible PKCS, it's recommended to browse
