The Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) is a set
of standards for public-key cryptography, developed by RSA Laboratories in
cooperation with an informal consortium, originally including Apple®,
Microsoft, DEC, Lotus®, Sun and MIT. PKCS has been cited by the OIW (OSI
Implementers' Workshop) as a method for implementation of OSI standards. PKCS
is compatible with PEM but extends beyond PEM. For example, where PEM can only
handle ASCII data, PKCS is designed for binary data as well. PKCS is also
compatible with the ITU-T X.509 standard. The published standards are PKCS #1,
#3, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, and #11
