The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Composite ML-KEM for use in Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)' (draft-ietf-lamps-cms-composite-kem-03.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 Christopher Inacio and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-cms-composite-kem/ Technical Summary Composite ML-KEM defines combinations of ML-KEM with RSA-OAEP, ECDH, X25519, and X448. This document specifies the conventions for using Composite ML-KEM algorithms with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) using the KEMRecipientInfo structure defined in “Using Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) Algorithms in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)” (RFC 9629). Working Group Summary This is a companion document to draft-ietf-lamps-pq-composite-kem-21. There was a lot of debate, and many people asked for fewer combinations, but in the end there were people that want each of the combinations that are specified. There was consensus in the working group. Document Quality Much code has been written, and a lot of time was spent at the hackathon to make sure that various implementation are interoperable. ASN.1 is used, and compiles w/out error. No YANG, MIB, Media Types, or other fancy reviews. Three downrefs, already in the registry: RFCs 3394, 5869 and 5911 Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Russ Housley. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
