Title: Certificate Management Messages over CMS
Author(s): M. Myers, X. Liu, J. Schaad, J. Weinstein.

Length: 103357
This document defines a Certificate Management protocol using CMS (CMC). This protocol addresses two immediate needs within the Internet PKI community:
1. The need for an interface to public key certification products and
services based on [CMS] and [PKCS10], and 2. The need in [SMIMEV3] for a certificate enrollment protocol for
DSA-signed certificates with Diffie-Hellman public keys.
A small number of additional services are defined to supplement the core certificate request service.
Throughout this specification the term CMS is used to refer to both
[CMS] and [PKCS7]. For both signedData and envelopedData, CMS is a superset of the PKCS7. In general, the use of PKCS7 in this document is aligned to the Cryptographic Message Syntax [CMS] that provides a superset of the PKCS7 syntax. The term CMC refers to this specification.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
