Hi all,
I've been following the S/MIME 3 spec. since late in CMS-09, and am curious
about the Key Agreement Key Management Algorithm, and it's purpose within the
specification...
What purpose does using Key Agreement serve, rather than just using basic the
Key Transport mechanism?
I've had a look through the CMS (10), and it isn't clear what are the merit's
(or not) of using KA vs. KT.
Thanks in advance,
Hilton.
