> This document describes the conventions for using several Elliptic

> (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.
