The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) is the IETF's standard for cryptographically protected messages. It can be used by cryptographic schemes and protocols to digitally sign , digest , authenticate or encrypt any form of digital data.
The Certificate Management over CMS (CMC) is an Internet Standard published by the IETF, defining transport mechanisms for the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). It is defined in RFC 5272 , its transport mechanisms in RFC 5273 .
BCPs are document guidelines, processes, methods, and other matters not suitable for standardization. The Internet standards process itself is defined in a series of BCPs, as is the formal organizational structure of the IETF, Internet Engineering Steering Group , Internet Architecture Board , and other groups involved in that process.
The Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) is an Internet protocol standardized by the IETF used for obtaining X.509 digital certificates in a public key infrastructure (PKI). CMP is a very feature-rich and flexible protocol, supporting many types of cryptography.
The CRMF format, as used by Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) and CMS, is more flexible here, supporting also keys that are usable for encryption only. Although proof-of-origin of certificate enrollment requests, i.e., authentication of the certificate requester, is the most critical security requirement, for pragmatic reasons its support ...
IETF standards are developed in an open, all-inclusive process in which any interested individual can participate. All IETF documents are freely available over the Internet and can be reproduced at will. Multiple, working, useful, interoperable implementations are the chief requirement before an IETF proposed specification can become a standard ...
A Request for Comments (RFC) is a publication in a series from the principal technical development and standards-setting bodies for the Internet, most prominently the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). While there are over 9,151 RFCs as of February 2022, this list consists of RFCs that have related articles.
This category contains current and future Internet Standards, i.e., published RFC documents currently on the IETF's Standards Track. This can include both network protocols and other non-protocol standards.
