34、; or (4) together with other information to compute a piece of common shared secret information. 3.26 public key In an asymmetric (public) key cryptosystem, that key of an entitys key pair that may be publicly known.

42、e and give additional information that may be useful to implementers of this Standard. 14 2002 All rights reserved ANS X9.73October2002 5 Application The cryptographic message syntax defined in this standard provides the following services: 1) Independent data unit protection, where each message or

43、transaction is protected independently. There is no need for a real-time communications session between the sender and recipient, and no cryptographic sequencing (such as cipher block chaining) between messages. This standard does define attributes that allow applications to maintain relationships b

44、etween messages; 2) Confidentiality, using any ANSI X9 approved symmetric encryption algorithm and any ANSI X9 approved key management algorithm. Typically, the key management algorithm is used to protect a content-encryption key used to encrypt the message. This approach allows the sender to send a

45、n encrypted message to multiple recipients, while only encrypting the actual message once. The syntax is optimized for the common case where the same key management algorithm and parameters are used for all recipients; 3) Integrity and data origin authentication, using any ANSI X9 approved digital s

46、ignature or message authentication algorithm. (When using digital signatures, non-repudiation may also be supported.) The requirements of other ANSI standards for multiple signatures, per-signer authenticated attributes, and countersignatures, are also supported. An optimized syntax is also provided

47、 for the common case where only a single sender signs or authenticates a message. This syntax does not by itself allow for the selective protection of specific fields within a message; rather, it protects and optionally encapsulates the entire message. However, selective field protection can be impl

48、emented by combining multiple protected messages into a composite message. In general, selective field protection requires knowledge of the message and is best left to the application. This syntax specifies enhancements of the cryptographic message syntax defined in RFC 3369, Reference 23. Additiona

49、l attributes for use in financial applications, as well as cryptographic processing required for use with ANSI X9 approved cryptographic algorithms are defined. 6 Message Structures 6.1 General The message syntax is defined using ASN.1. The following subsections describe the various protected message types. A full specification of the syntax using ASN.1 can be found in Annex B.
