The IESG has received a request from the Limited Additional Mechanisms for
PKIX and SMIME WG (lamps) to consider the following document: - 'Using Key
Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) Algorithms in the
   Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)'
  <draft-ietf-lamps-cms-kemri-08.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2024-02-21. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) supports key transport and key
   agreement algorithms.  In recent years, cryptographers have been
   specifying Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) algorithms, including
   quantum-secure KEM algorithms.  This document defines conventions for
   the use of KEM algorithms by the originator and recipients to encrypt
   and decrypt CMS content.  This document updates RFC 5652.
