Cryptographic Message Syntax Encrypted Key Package Content Type
RFC 6032, “Cryptographic Message Syntax Encrypted Key Package Content Type”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2010 by S. Turner, R. Housley. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) encrypted key package content type, which can be used to encrypt a content that includes a key package, such as a symmetric key package or an asymmetric key package. It is transport independent. CMS can be used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or further encrypt this content type. It is designed to be used with the CMS Content Constraints (CCC) extension, which does not constrain the EncryptedData, EnvelopedData, 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.
