Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) Version 3.2 Certificate Handling
Abstract:
This document specifies conventions for X.509 certificate usage by
Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) agents. S/MIME
provides a method to send and receive secure MIME messages, and
certificates are an integral part of S/MIME agent processing. S/MIME agents validate certificates as described in RFC 3280bis, the
Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile.
S/MIME agents must meet the certificate processing requirements in
this document as well as those in RFC 3280bis. This document
obsoletes RFC 3850.
Use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Algorithms
in Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
Abstract:
This document describes how to use Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
public-key algorithms in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). The
ECC algorithms support the creation of digital signatures and the
exchange of keys to encrypt or authenticate content. The definition of the algorithm processing is based on the ANSI X9.62 standard,
developed by the ANSI X9F1 working group, the IEEE 1363 standard, and
the SEC 1 standard.
Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) Version 3.2
Message Specification
Abstract:
This document defines Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
(S/MIME) version 3.2. S/MIME provides a consistent way to send and
receive secure MIME data. Digital signatures provide authentication,
message integrity, and non-repudiation with proof of origin. Encryption provides data confidentiality. Compression can be used to
reduce data size. This document obsoletes RFC 3851.
