CMC Compliance Document
Abstract:
This document provides a set of compliance statements about the CMC
(Certificate Management over CMS) enrollment protocol. The ASN.1
structures and the transport mechanisms for the CMC enrollment
protocol are covered in other documents. This document provides the
information needed to make a compliant version of CMC.
Certificate Management Messages over CMS
Abstract:
This document defines the base syntax for CMC, a Certificate
Management protocol using the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).
This protocol addresses two immediate needs within the Internet
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) community:
1. The need for an interface to public key certification products
and services based on CMS and PKCS #10 (Public Key Cryptography
Standard), and
2. The need for a PKI enrollment protocol for encryption only keys
due to algorithm or hardware design.
CMC also requires the use of the transport document and the
requirements usage document along with this document for a full
definition.
Certificate Management over CMS (CMC) Transport Protocols
Abstract:
This document defines a number of transport mechanisms that are used
to move CMC (Certificate Management over CMS (Cryptographic Message
Syntax)) messages. The transport mechanisms described in this
document are: HTTP, file, mail and TCP.
