2nd Last Call: draft-ietf-smime-cms-rsa-kem

2009-07-09 00:51:07

This message initiates the 2nd SMIME Working Group Last Call on the document:

 Title     : Use of the RSA-KEM Key Transport Algorithm in CMS
 Author(s) : J. Brainard, S. Turner, J. Randall, B. Kaliski
 Filename  : draft-ietf-smime-cms-rsa-kem-07.txt
 Pages     : 28
 Date      : 2009-7-7

The rationale for the 2nd last call is that a number of changes were
made to the ID to address SECDIR review comments.  A summary of the
draft follows:

The RSA-KEM Key Transport Algorithm is a one-pass (store-and-forward)
mechanism for transporting keying data to a recipient using the
recipient's RSA public key. This document specifies the conventions for
using the RSA-KEM Key Transport Algorithm with the Cryptographic Message
Syntax (CMS). The ASN.1 syntax is aligned with ANS X9.44 and ISO/IEC
18033-2.

The purpose of this WG Last Call is to ensure that the Working Group has
achieved consensus that the document is suitable for publication as a
Standards Track RFC.

Please review the document for both technical and editorial problems.
Technical issues should be discussed on this list. Editorial issues may
be sent to the document editor.

The Last Call period will end on 24 July 2009.

Upon completion of the last call, the WG chairs will take action based
upon the consensus of the WG. Possible actions include:

  1) recommending to the IETF Security Area Directors
     that the document, after possible editorial or
     other minor changes, be considered by the IESG
     for publication as an Informational RFC
     (which generally involves an IETF-wide Last Call); or

  2) requiring that outstanding issues be adequately
     addressed prior to further action (including,
     possibly, another WG Last Call).

Remember that it is our responsibility as Working Group members to
ensure the quality of our documents and of the Internet Standards
process.  So, please read and comment!
