Algorithms for Asymmetric Key Package Content Type
RFC 5959, “Algorithms for Asymmetric Key Package Content Type”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2010 by S. Turner. It has since been updated by RFC 6162. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the conventions for using several cryptographic algorithms with the EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo structure, as defined in RFC 5958. It also includes conventions necessary to protect the AsymmetricKeyPackage content type with SignedData, EnvelopedData, EncryptedData, AuthenticatedData, and AuthEnvelopedData. [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.
