Authenticated Data Content Type

2001-01-12 14:49:30

All,

My question is concerning the CMS authenticated data type.

RFC2104 allows the HMAC key to be of any length. If this is the case, then the KEKRecipientInfo can not be used to transfer the Recipient Info unless the length of the authentication key matches that of a Triple-DES or RC2 Key as this is required by the Key Wrap Algorithms.

Thanks,
 Vamsi
