RFC 9690: Use of the RSA-KEM Algorithm in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
Recent RFCs 2025-02-10
Summary:
The RSA Key Encapsulation Mechanism (RSA-KEM) algorithm is a one-pass
(store-and-forward) cryptographic mechanism for an originator to
securely send keying material to a recipient using the recipient's
RSA public key. The RSA-KEM algorithm is specified in Clause 11.5 of
ISO/IEC: 18033-2:2006. This document specifies the conventions for
using the RSA-KEM algorithm as a standalone KEM algorithm and the
conventions for using the RSA-KEM algorithm with the Cryptographic
Message Syntax (CMS) using KEMRecipientInfo as specified in RFC 9629.
This document obsoletes RFC 5990.
