Summary:
|
The purpose of Recommendation ITU-T X.CMS-prof is to provide Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) ASN.1 modules without obsolete ASN.1 features and make it usable with all ASN.1 standardized encoding rules. CMS is being used to protect information of any type or format from the threats of accidental or deliberate disclosure, alteration, destruction, or substitution, while the information is at rest or during transfer across interconnected networks. The Profile described in this Recommendation will continue to support the existing CMS features of data integrity, confidentiality, origin authenticity, and non-repudiation services needed for reliable information exchange and for strong authentication.
This Recommendation will bring together a set of cryptographic key management techniques to support flexible key establishment mechanisms, such as constructive key management, key agreement, key exchange, and password-based encryption. These techniques can be used to prevent fraud, and to protect personally identifiable and other sensitive information from the threats outlined above.
This Recommendation will also provide new content types like signcryption technique.
