Abstract
The RSA-KEM Key Transport Algorithm is a one-pass (store-and-forward)mechanism for transporting keying data to a recipient using the recipient'sRSA public key. ("KEM" stands for "key encapsulation mechanism".) This document specifies the conventions for using the RSA-KEM Key TransportAlgorithm with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). The ASN.1 syntax isaligned with an expected forthcoming change to American National Standard (ANS) X9.44.
