[smime] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC5990 (2529)

2010-09-23 17:46:53

The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5990,
"Use of the RSA-KEM Key Transport Algorithm in the Cryptographic Message Syntax 
(CMS)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5990&eid=2529

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <ah(_at_)TR-Sys(_dot_)de>

Section: 4, pg.9

Original Text
-------------
   Within the CMS, algorithms are identified by object identifiers
|  (OIDs).  With one exception, all of the OIDs used in this document
   were assigned in other IETF documents, in ISO/IEC standards
   documents, by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
   (NIST), and in Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) documents.
   The two exceptions are the ASN.1 module's identifier (see Appendix
|  B.3) and id-rsa-kem that are both assigned in this document.  The
|  module object identifiers are defined in an arc delegated by the
   former company RSA Data Security Inc. to the S/MIME Working Group.
   When the S/MIME Working Group closes, this arc and its registration
   procedures will be transferred to IANA.

Rationale:
  Alignment with Appendix B: _two_ exceptions, both from same arc.
