Abstract

Some developers would like the IETF to use the latest version of ASN.1 in its standards. Most of the RFCs that relate to security protocols still use ASN.1 from the 1988 standard, which has been deprecated. This is particularly true for the standards that relate to PKIX, CMS, and Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME).

 Additional New ASN.1 Modules for the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)           and the Public Key Infrastructure Using X.509 (PKIX)

Abstract

   The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) format, and many associated    formats, are expressed using ASN.1.  The current ASN.1 modules    conform to the 1988 version of ASN.1.  This document updates some    auxiliary ASN.1 modules to conform to the 2008 version of ASN.1; the    1988 ASN.1 modules remain the normative version.  There are no bits-    on-the-wire changes to any of the formats; this is simply a change to    the syntax.
