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.
