Algorithms for Cryptographic Message Syntax Protection of Symmetric Key Package Content Types
RFC 6160, “Algorithms for Cryptographic Message Syntax Protection of Symmetric Key Package Content Types”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2011 by S. Turner. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the conventions for using several cryptographic algorithms with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) to protect the symmetric key package content type. Specifically, it includes conventions necessary to implement SignedData, EnvelopedData, EncryptedData, 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.
