This document specifies the conventions for using Message
Authentication Code (MAC) encryption with the Cryptographic Message
Syntax (CMS) authenticated-enveloped-data content type.  This mirrors
the use of a MAC combined with an encryption algorithm that's already
employed in IPsec, Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security
(SSL/TLS) and Secure SHell (SSH), which is widely supported in
existing crypto libraries and hardware and has been extensively
analysed by the crypto community.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
