This document describes the conventions for using the Secure Hash
Algorithm (SHA) message digest algorithms (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384,
SHA-512) with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).  It also
describes the conventions for using these algorithms with the CMS
and the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), Rivest Shamir Adleman
(RSA), and Elliptic Curve DSA (ECDSA) signature algorithms.  Further,
it provides SMIMECapabilities attribute values for each algorithm.
