Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
Key Package Receipt and Error Content Types
Abstract
This document defines the syntax for two Cryptographic Message Syntax
(CMS) content types: one for key package receipts and another for key
package errors. The key package receipt content type is used to
confirm receipt of an identified key package or collection of key
packages. The key package error content type is used to indicate an
error occurred during the processing of a key package. CMS can be
used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or encrypt these
content types.

1. Introduction
This document defines the syntax for two Cryptographic Message Syntax
(CMS) [RFC5652] content types: one for key package receipts and
another for key package errors. The key package receipt content type
is used to confirm receipt of an identified key package or collection
of key packages. The key package error content type is used to
indicate an error occurred during the processing of a key package.
CMS can be used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or encrypt
these content types.
1.1. Requirements Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
1.2. ASN.1 Syntax Notation
The content types defined herein use ASN.1 ([X.680], [X.681],
[X.682], and [X.683]).
The CONTENT-TYPE definition was updated to the 2008 version of ASN.1
by [RFC6268]; however, none of the new 2008 ASN.1 tokens are used in
this specification, which allows compilers that only support the 2002
version of ASN.1 to compile the module in Appendix A.
