Subject: Add a new file where all the standards and other documents that we try
X-Git-Tag: OpenSSL_0_9_5~21

Add a new file where all the standards and other documents that we try
to adhere to are listed.  It should be regarded as a complement to
whatever is out on the web, including the docs in http://www.openssl.org/

+Standards related to OpenSSL
+============================
+
+[Please, this is currently a draft.  I made a first try at finding
+ documents that describe parts of what OpenSSL implements.  There are
+ big gaps, and I've most certainly done something wrong.  Please
+ correct whatever is...  Also, this note should be removed when this
+ file is reaching a somewhat correct state.        -- Richard Levitte]
+
+
+All pointers in here will be either URL's or blobs of text borrowed
+from miscellaneous indexes, like rfc-index.txt (index of RFCs),
+1id-index.txt (index of Internet drafts) and the like.
+
+To find the latest possible RFCs, it's recommended to either browse
+ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/ or go to http://www.rfc-editor.org/ and
+use the search mechanism found there.
+To find the latest possible Internet drafts, it's recommended to
+browse ftp://ftp.isi.edu/internet-drafts/.
+To find the latest possible PKCS, it's recommended to browse
+http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/.
+
