Additional Cryptographic Message Syntax Revocation Information Choices
RFC 5940, “Additional Cryptographic Message Syntax Revocation Information Choices”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2010 by S. Turner, R. Housley. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) allows revocation information to be conveyed as part of the SignedData, EnvelopedData, AuthenticatedData, and AuthEnvelopedData content types. The preferred format for revocation information is the Certificate Revocation List (CRL), but an extension mechanism supports other revocation information formats. This document defines two additional revocation information formats for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses and Server-Based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) requests and responses. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
