Abstract

The DHKEM Algorithm is a one-pass (store-and-forward) mechanism for establishing keying data to a recipient using the recipient's Diffie- Hellman or elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman public key. This document defines a mechanism to wrap Ephemeral-Static (E-S) Diffie-Hellman (DH) and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) such that it can be used in KEM interfaces within the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). This is a sister document to RSA-KEM [RFC5990] and simplifies future cryptographic protocol design by only needing to handle KEMs at the protocol level.
