The default character set for SyncML representation protocol is UTF-8. Encoding considerations : 8bit This media type may require encoding on transports not capable of handling 8 bit text. Security considerations : Authentication: The MIME content type definition provides for the inclusion of authentication information for the purpose of authenticating the originator and recipient of messages containing the data synchronization content type. The content type definition supports Basic, Base64 userid/password mark-up, MD5 digest challenge and response strings and any other registered authentication credential scheme. Threats: The MIME content type definition provides for the inclusion of remote execution commands. Administrators for MIME implementations that support this content type SHOULD take every standard precaution to assure the activation of the originator of content, as well as take every standard precaution to confirm the validity of the included remote execution command prior to allowing the command to be executed on the targeted recipient's system. Interoperability considerations : Implementations that have support for the mandatory features of this content type will greatly increase the chances of interoperating with other implementations supporting this content type. Conformance to this content type requires an implementation to support every mandatory feature. Published specification : http://www.openmobilealliance.org/ Applications which use this media : This MIME content type is intended for common use by networked data synchronization applications.
