Use of the SHA3 One-Way Hash Functions in the Cryptographic Message Syntax
RFC 9688, “Use of the SHA3 One-Way Hash Functions in the Cryptographic Message Syntax”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2024 by R. Housley. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the conventions for using the one-way hash functions in the SHA3 family with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). The SHA3 family can be used as a message digest algorithm, as part of a signature algorithm, as part of a message authentication code, or as part of a Key Derivation Function (KDF).
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.
