Abstract
This document describes the conventions for using the RSAES-OAEP key
transport algorithm with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). The
CMS specifies the enveloped-data content type, which consists of an
encrypted content and encrypted content-encryption keys for one or
more recipients. The RSAES-OAEP key transport algorithm can be used
to encrypt content-encryption keys for intended recipients.
