The RSA-KEM Key Transport Algorithm is a one-pass (store-and-forward)
mechanism for transporting keying data to a recipient using the recipient's
RSA public key.  ("KEM" stands for "key encapsulation mechanism".)  This 
document specifies the conventions for using the RSA-KEM Key Transport
Algorithm with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).  The ASN.1 syntax is
aligned with an expected forthcoming change to American National Standard 
(ANS) X9.44.

This document is a product of the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
