The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Using Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) Algorithms in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)' (draft-ietf-lamps-cms-kemri-08.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and SMIME Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Roman Danyliw. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-cms-kemri/ Technical Summary The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) supports key transport and key agreement algorithms. In recent years, cryptographers have been specifying Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithms, including quantum-secure KEM algorithms. This document defines conventions for the use of KEM algorithms by the originator and recipients to encrypt and decrypt CMS content. Working Group Summary There is widespread agreement within the WG on the content of the document. There were no discussions that manifested in controversy. Suggestions from reviewers were readily integrated into the document by the authors. Document Quality At least two implementations are known to exist: one of the authors' implementations as well as in Bouncy Castle. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Corey Bonnell. The Responsible Area Director is Roman Danyliw. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
