 Object Identifier Registry for the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group

Abstract

   When the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group was chartered, an object
   identifier arc was donated by RSA Data Security for use by that
   working group.  This document describes the object identifiers that
   were assigned in that donated arc, transfers control of that arc to
   IANA, and establishes IANA allocation policies for any future
   assignments within that arc.

1.  Introduction

   When the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group was chartered, an object
   identifier arc was donated by RSA Data Security for use by that
   working group.  These object identifiers are primarily used with
   Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [ASN1-88] [ASN1-08].  The ASN.1
   specifications continue to evolve, but object identifiers can be used
   with any and all versions of ASN.1.

   The S/MIME object identifier arc is:

      id-smime OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
                  us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9) 16 }
