This document describes and discusses the textual encodings of the
Public-Key Infrastructure X.509 (PKIX), Public-Key Cryptography
Standards (PKCS), and Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). The
textual encodings are well-known, are implemented by several
applications and libraries, and are widely deployed. This document
articulates the de facto rules by which existing implementations
operate and defines them so that future implementations can
interoperate.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
