Technical Summary

   The RSA Key Encapsulation Mechanism (RSA-KEM) Algorithm is a one-pass
   (store-and-forward) cryptographic mechanism for an originator to
   securely send keying material to a recipient using the recipient's
   RSA public key.  The RSA-KEM Algorithm is specified in Clause 11.5 of
   ISO/IEC: 18033-2:2006.  This document specifies the conventions for
   using the RSA-KEM Algorithm as a standalone KEM algorithm and the
   conventions for using the RSA-KEM Algorithm with the Cryptographic
   Message Syntax (CMS) using KEMRecipientInfo as specified in draft-
   ietf-lamps-cms-kemri.
