Abstract

In light of the expiration of the primary RSA patent, it is proposed that the RSA algorithm replace the DSS and Diffie-Hellman as the MUST implement algorithms in the S/MIME profile. This draft will describe only the proposed changes to the S/MIME Version 3 Certificate Handling RFC [SMIMEV3CERT], and the rest of that RFC will remain identical.
