The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider
the following document:
- 'Using MAC-authenticated Encryption in the Cryptographic Message Syntax
(CMS)'
<draft-gutmann-cms-hmac-enc-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2011-07-20. Exceptionally, comments
may be
sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
This document specifies the conventions for using MAC-authenticated
encryption with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) authenticated-
enveloped-data content type. This mirrors the use of a MAC combined
with an encryption algorithm that's already employed in IPsec, SSL/
TLS, and SSH, which is widely supported in existing crypto libraries
and hardware, and has been extensively analysed by the crypto
community.
DOWNREF
This specification contains one normative references to a proposed
standard: RFC 2898.
