        RFC 8419

        Title:      Use of Edwards-Curve Digital Signature 
                    Algorithm (EdDSA) Signatures in the Cryptographic 
                    Message Syntax (CMS)

This document specifies the conventions for using the Edwards-curve
Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) for curve25519 and curve448 in
the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).  For each curve, EdDSA
defines the PureEdDSA and HashEdDSA modes.  However, the HashEdDSA
mode is not used with the CMS.  In addition, no context string is
used with the CMS.

This document is a product of the CURves, Deprecating and a Little more Encryption Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

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 Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
