A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 9708 Title: Use of the HSS/LMS Hash-Based Signature Algorithm in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) Author: R. Housley Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: January 2025 Mailbox: housley@vigilsec.com Pages: 13 Obsoletes: RFC 8708 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-lamps-rfc8708bis-03.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9708 DOI: 10.17487/RFC9708 This document specifies the conventions for using the Hierarchical Signature System (HSS) / Leighton-Micali Signature (LMS) hash-based signature algorithm with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). In addition, the algorithm identifier and public key syntax are provided. The HSS/LMS algorithm is one form of hash-based digital signature; it is described in RFC 8554. This document obsoletes RFC 8708. This document is a product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and SMIME 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.
