Using SHA2 Algorithms with Cryptographic Message Syntax
RFC 5754, “Using SHA2 Algorithms with Cryptographic Message Syntax”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2010 by S. Turner. It updates RFC 3370. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the conventions for using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) message digest algorithms (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). It also describes the conventions for using these algorithms with the CMS and the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA), and Elliptic Curve DSA (ECDSA) signature algorithms. Further, it provides SMIMECapabilities attribute values for each algorithm. [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.
