Introduction [RFC5751] registered the application/pkc7-mime media type. That document defined five optional smime-type parameters. The smime-type parameter originally conveyed details about the security applied(signed or enveloped)to the data content type,hence signed-data and enveloped-data,indicating whether it was signed or enveloped, as well as the name of thedata, anddata content; it was later expanded toalsoindicatethatwhether themessage was compressed, compressed-data,data content is compressed andthatwhether themessage isdata content contained a certs-only message. This document does not affect those registrations as this document places no requirements on S/MIME (Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) agents. The registration done by the S/MIME documents was done assuming that there would be a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) wrapping layer around each of the different envelopingcontents, thuscontents; thus, there was no need to include more than one item in eachsmime-type.smime- type. This is no longer the case with some of the more advanced enveloping types. Some protocols such as the CMC (Certificate Management over Cryptographic Message Syntax) [RFC5273] have defined additional S/MIME types. New protocols that intend to wrap MIME content should continue to define a smime-typestring, howeverstring; however, new protocols that intend to wrapnon-mimenon-MIME types should use this mechanism instead. CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax) [RFC5652] associates a content type identifier (OID) withaspecific content; CMS content types have been widely used to define contents that can be enveloped using other CMS content types and to define enveloping content types some of which provide security services. CMS protecting content types, those that provide security services, include:Signed DataSigned-Data [RFC5652],Enveloped DataEnveloped-Data [RFC5652],Digest DataDigested-Data [RFC5652],Encrypted DataEncrypted-Data [RFC5652],Authenticated DataAuthenticated-Data [RFC5652],Authenticated Enveloped DataAuthenticated-Enveloped-Data [RFC5083], and Encrypted Key Package [RFC6032]. CMS non-protecting content types, those that provide no security services but encapsulate other CMS content types, include: Content Information [RFC5652], Compressed Data [RFC3274], Content Collection [RFC4073], and Content With Attributes [RFC4073]. Then, there are theinner mostinnermost content types that include: Data [RFC5652], Asymmetric Key Package [RFC5958], Symmetric Key Package [RFC6031], Firmware Package [RFC4108], Firmware Package Load Receipt [RFC4108], Firmware Package Load Error [RFC4108], Trust Anchor List [RFC5914],id-ct-KP-keyPackageReceipt [ID.housley-keypackage-receipt-n-error],TAMP Status Query, TAMP Status Response, TAMP Update, TAMP Update Confirm, TAMP Apex Update, TAMP Apex Update Confirmation, TAMP Community Update, TAMP Community Update Confirm, TAMP Sequence Adjust, TAMP Sequence Adjust Confirmation, TAMP Error [RFC5934], Key Package Error, and Key Package Receipt[ID.housley- keypackage-receipt-n-error].[RFC7191]. To support conveying CMS content types, this document defines a media type and parameters that indicate the enveloping and embedded CMS content types. New CMS content types should be affirmative in defining the string that identifies the new content type and should additionally define if the new content type is expected to appear in the encapsulatedContent or innerContentfield.parameter. 1.1. Requirements Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 2. CMS Media Type Registration Applications This section provides the media type registration application for the application/cms media type (see [RFC6838], Section 5.6). Type name: application Subtype name: cms Required parameters: None. Optional parameters: encapsulatingContent=y; where y is one or more CMS ECT (Encapsulating Content Type) identifiers; multiple values are encapsulated in quotes and separated by afolding-whitespace commafolding-whitespace, a comma, and folding-whitespace. ECT values are based on content types found in [RFC3274], [RFC4073], [RFC5083], [RFC5652], and [RFC6032]. This list can later beextended,extended; see Section 4. authData compressedData contentCollection contentInfo contentWithAttrs authEnvelopedData encryptedKeyPkg digestData encryptedData envelopedData signedData innerContent=x; where x is one or more CMS ICT (Inner Content Type) identifiers; multiple values encapsulated in quotes and are separated by afolding-whitespace commafolding-whitespace, a comma, and folding-whitespace. ICT values are based on content types found in [RFC4108], [RFC5914], [RFC5934], [RFC5958], [RFC6031], and[ID.housley-keypackage- receipt-n-error].[RFC7191].

Encoding considerations: Binary. [RFC5652] requires that theouter mostoutermost encapsulation be ContentInfo. Security considerations: The following security considerations apply: RFC | CMS Protecting Content Type and Algorithms ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC3370] | signedData, envelopedData, [RFC5652] | digestedData, encryptedData, and [RFC5753] | authData [RFC5754] | ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC5958] | aKeyPackage [RFC5959] | [RFC6162] | ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC6031] | sKeyPackage [RFC6160] | ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC6032] | encryptedKeyPkg [RFC6033] | [RFC6161] | ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC5914] | trustAnchorList ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC3274] | compressedData ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC5083] | authEnvelopedData [RFC5084] | ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC4073] | contentCollection and | contentWithAttrs ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC4108] | firmwarePackage, | firmwareLoadReceipt, and | firmwareLoadError ----------+------------------------------------------- [RFC5934] |tamp-status-query, tamp-status-response,TAMP-statusQuery, TAMP-statusResponse, |tamp-update, tamp-update-confirm,TAMP-update, TAMP-updateConfirm, |tamp-apex-update,TAMP-apexUpdate, |tamp-apex-update-confirm,TAMP-apexUpdateConfirm, |tamp-community-update,TAMP-communityUpdate, |tamp-community-update-confirm,TAMP-communityUpdateConfirm, |tamp-sequence-adjust,TAMP-seqNumAdjust, |tamp-sequence-adjust-confirm,TAMP-seqNumAdjustConfirm, and |tamp-errorTAMP-error ----------+-------------------------------------------[ID.housley-keypackage-receipt-n-error] | | keyPackageReceipt[RFC7191] |keyPackageReceipt and keyPackageError ----------+------------------------------------------- In some circumstances, significant information can be leaked by disclosing what the innermost ASN.1 structure is. In thesecasescases, it is acceptable to disclose the wrappers without disclosing the inner content type. ASN.1 encoding rules (e.g., DER and BER) have a type-length-value structure, and it is easy to construct malicious content with invalid length fields that can cause buffer overrun conditions. ASN.1 encoding rules allows for arbitrary levels of nesting, which may make it possible to construct malicious content that will cause a stack overflow. Interpreters of ASN.1 structures should be aware of these issues and should take appropriate measures to guard against buffer overflows and stack overruns in particular and malicious content in general. Interoperability considerations: See [RFC3274], [RFC4073], [RFC4108], [RFC5083], [RFC5652], [RFC5914], [RFC5934], [RFC5958], [RFC6031], [RFC6032], and[ID.housley-keypackage-receipt-n-error].[RFC7191]. In all cases, CMS content types are encapsulated within ContentInfo structures [RFC5652]; that is theouter mostoutermost enveloping structure is ContentInfo. CMS [RFC5652] defines slightly different processing rules for SignedData than does PKCS #7 [RFC2315]. This media type employs the CMS processing rules. The Content-Type header field of all application/cms objects SHOULD include the optional "encapsulatingContent" and "innerContent" parameters. The Content-Disposition header field [RFC4021] can also be included along with Content-Type's optional name parameter. Published specification: This specification. Applicationswhichthat use this media type: Applications that support CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax) content types.

IANA Considerations IANAis asked to registerhas registered the media type application/cms in the Standards tree using the applications provided in Section 2 of this document. IANAis also asked to establishhas established two subtype registries called "CMS Encapsulating Content Types" and "CMS Inner Content Types". Entries in these registriesisare allocated by Expert Review [RFC5226]. The Expert will determine whether the content is an ECT or anICT;ICT, where the rule is that an ICT does not encapsulate another content type while an ECT does encapsulate another content type. Initial values are as follows: CMS Encapsulating Content Types Name | Document | Object Identifier ----------------------------+----------+--------------------------- authData |[RFC5652] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.2 compressedData |[RFC3274] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.9 contentCollection |[RFC4073] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.19 contentInfo |[RFC5652] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.6 contentWithAttrs |[RFC4073] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.20 authEnvelopedData |[RFC5083] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.23 encryptedKeyPkg|[RFC6030]|[RFC6032] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.78.2 digestData |[RFC5652] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.5 encryptedData |[RFC5652] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.6 envelopedData |[RFC5652] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.3 signedData |[RFC5652] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.2 CMS Inner Content Types Name | Document | Object Identifier ----------------------------+----------+--------------------------- firmwarePackage |[RFC4108] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.16 firmwareLoadReceipt |[RFC4108] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.17 firmwareLoadError |[RFC4108] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.18 aKeyPackage |[RFC5958] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.78.5 sKeyPackage |[RFC6031] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.25 trustAnchorList |[RFC5914] | 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.34 TAMP-statusQuery |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.1 TAMP-statusResponse |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.2 TAMP-update |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.3 TAMP-updateConfirm |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.4 TAMP-apexUpdate |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.5 TAMP-apexUpdateConfirm |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.6 TAMP-communityUpdate |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.7 TAMP-communityUpdateConfirm |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.8 TAMP-seqNumAdjust |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.10 TAMP-seqNumAdjustConfirm |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.11 TAMP-error |[RFC5934] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.77.9 keyPackageReceipt|[ID.housley-keypackage-receipt-n-error]|[RFC7191] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.78.3 keyPackageError|[ID.housley-keypackage-receipt-n-error]|[RFC7191] | 2.16.840.1.101.2.1.2.78.6 5.
