Certificate Management over CMS
RFC 5272, “Certificate Management over CMS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2008 by J. Schaad, M. Myers. It obsoletes RFC 2797. It has since been updated by RFC 6402. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the base syntax for CMC, a Certificate Management protocol using the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). This protocol addresses two immediate needs within the Internet Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) community:
1. The need for an interface to public key certification products and services based on CMS and PKCS #10 (Public Key Cryptography Standard), and
2. The need for a PKI enrollment protocol for encryption only keys due to algorithm or hardware design.
CMC also requires the use of the transport document and the requirements usage document along with this document for a full definition. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
