Use of the SEED Encryption Algorithm in Cryptographic Message Syntax

Overview

RFC 4010, “Use of the SEED Encryption Algorithm in Cryptographic Message Syntax”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2005 by J. Park, S. Lee, J. Kim, J. Lee. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies the conventions for using the SEED encryption algorithm for encryption with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).

SEED is added to the set of optional symmetric encryption algorithms in CMS by providing two classes of unique object identifiers (OIDs). One OID class defines the content encryption algorithms and the other defines the key encryption algorithms. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
