This document describes the conventions for using several Elliptic
Curve cryptographic algorithms with the Cryptographic Message Syntax
(CMS) encrypted key package content type.  Specifically, it includes
conventions necessary to implement Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman
(ECDH) with EnvelopedData and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
Algorithm (ECDSA) with SignedData.  This document extends RFC 6033.
