This document defines the means by which PKI clients and servers may exchange PKI messages when using the Cryptographic Message Syntax [CMS] as a transaction envelope. It extends concepts established in the draft [CRS] version of this material by accommodating external specification of message bodies in the Certificate Management Message Formats [CMMF] and Certificate Request Message Format [CRMF] documents. Mandatory requirements are established which facilitate automated interoperability between a wide variety of PKI clients and servers or services. Optional features are defined to address more localized needs.
