This document provides a method of encrypting data using user-supplied
passwords and, by extension, any form of variable-length keying
material which is not necessarily an algorithm-specific fixed-format
key.  The Cryptographic Message Syntax data format does not currently
contain any provisions for password-based data encryption.

This document is a product of the S/MIME Mail Security Workring Group
of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
