Untitled (proposed restoration of disambiguation page)[edit]

PEM is also used to refer to the encoding format used by Privacy Enhanced Mail and defined in RFC 1421. This format is also used for representing keys and signatures in openssl (and possibly in other contexts).

I don't know if there should be a separate line for "PEM format" or the existing line for "Privacy-Enhanced Electronic Mail" should be changed to read "Privacy Enhanced (Electronic) Mail and the data encoding format it uses"

(Incidentally, RFC 1421 uses "PEM" as an acronym for "Privacy Enhanced Mail" not "Privacy-enhanced Electonic Mail".)

I have gone ahead and restored the dab page, splitting off this article under its proper name, "Parallel Economic Model". It evidently was dumped into the dab page by a newbie, who didn't know what they were doing. The new article is completely unreferenced, so I have flagged it as such, and also flagged it as a stub. I will leave the article to fend for itself, but it is a candidate for deletion if it is not improved. Reify-tech (talk) 15:37, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
