Abstract
The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) format, and many associatedformats, are expressed using ASN.1. The current ASN.1 modulesconform to the 1988 version of ASN.1. This document updates thoseASN.1 modules to conform to the 2002 version of ASN.1. There are nobits-on-the-wire changes to any of the formats; this is simply achange to the syntax. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
