Technical Summary
This Internet Draft describes the conventions for using GOST (Russian
national standard) set of symmetric cryptographic algorithms
(signature, key management, and MAC) and their use with Cryptographic
Message Syntax (CMS). Object identifiers for algorithms, ASN.1 for
parameters, and example encoded CMS messages are provided.

Working Group Summary
There was little list discussion of the Internet-Draft; however, there
was working group member review provided primarily face-to-face
discussions or via individual email messages. The major comment was
the lack of a standard for some aspects of the algorithms that would
have made interoperable implementations difficult. As a result, the
authors introduced an individual submission to describe the missing
aspects of the algorithms. Minor readability comments were also
addressed.
Protocol Quality
Multiple independent implementations exist.
