Use of the RSAES-OAEP Key Transport Algorithm in Cryptographic Message Syntax

Overview

RFC 3560, “Use of the RSAES-OAEP Key Transport Algorithm in Cryptographic Message Syntax”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2003 by R. Housley. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes the conventions for using the RSAES-OAEP key transport algorithm with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). The CMS specifies the enveloped-data content type, which consists of an encrypted content and encrypted content-encryption keys for one or more recipients. The RSAES-OAEP key transport algorithm can be used to encrypt content-encryption keys for intended recipients. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
