(RFC 5408 published January 2009, subtype last updated January 2009)

MIME media type name: application

MIME subtype name: ibe-pp-data

Mandatory parameters: none

Optional parameters: none

Encoding considerations: This media type MUST be encoded as 7-bit
   (US-ASCII text [ASCII]).

Security considerations: The data conveyed as this media type are the
   public parameters needed for the operation of a cryptographic
   system.  To ensure that the parameters can be trusted, the request
   for these parameters must take place over a secure protocol, such
   as TLS 1.2 or its successors.  To ensure the validity of the
   server, the client MUST verify the server certificate and MUST
   abort the parameter request if the verification of the server
   certificate of the TLS connection fails.  This media type contains
   no active content and does not use compression.

Interoperability considerations: There are no known interoperability
   considerations for this media type.

Applications that use this media type: Applications that implement
   IBE in compliance with this specification will use this media
   type.  The most commonly used of these applications are encrypted
   email and file encryption.
