An Overview of the PKCS Standards
نویسنده
چکیده
This note gives an overview of the PKCS family of standards for public-key cryptography. These standards cover RSA encryption, Diffie-Hellman key agreement, password-based encryption, extended-certificate syntax, cryptographic message syntax, private-key information syntax, and certification request syntax, as well as selected attributes. The note gives the motivation for the standards and discusses their relationship to other standards or agreements on public-key cryptography.

Public Key Cryptography Standards: PKCS
Cryptographic standards serve two important goals: making different implementations interoperable and avoiding various known pitfalls in commonly used schemes. This chapter discusses Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) which have significant impact on the use of public key cryptography in practice. PKCS standards are a set of standards, called PKCS #1 through #15. These standards cover RSA...
متن کاملOn the Security of PKCS#11
Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #11 has gained wide acceptance within the cryptographic security device community and has become the interface of choice for many applications. The high esteem in which PKCS #11 is held is evidenced by the fact that it has been selected by a large number of companies as the API for their own devices. In this paper we analyse the security of the PKCS #11 ...

The computer industry has defined the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that will enable mobile devices to access a broadband network as an alternative to digital subscriber line technology. As the mobile devices join and leave a network, security measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the network against unauthorized usage by encryption and group key management. IEEE 802.16e uses Multica...

Many RFCs, but not all, are Proposed Standards, Draft Standards, or Standards. Since the status of these RFCs may change during the standards processing, we note here only that they are on the standards track. Please see the latest edition of "Internet Official Protocol Standards" for the current state and status of these RFCs. In the following, RFCs on the standards track are marked [STANDARDS...
