Abstract

This document describes how to use Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)public key algorithms in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). TheECC algorithms support the creation of digital signatures and theexchange of keys to encrypt or authenticate content. The definitionof the algorithm processing is based on the NIST FIPS 186-3 fordigital signature, NIST SP800-56A and SEC1 for key agreement, RFC3370 and RFC 3565 for key wrap and content encryption, NIST FIPS180-3 for message digest, SEC1 for key derivation, and RFC 2104 and RFC4231 for message authentication code standards. This documentobsoletes RFC 3278. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
