PKCS Public Key Infrastructure Security

Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) is a set of informal intervendor standards developed since 1991 by RSA Laboratories with representatives of other vendors. Since its publication, PKCS has been used in many standards and products. These standards cover RSA encryption, Diffie-Hellman key agreement, password-based encryption, extended-certificate syntax, cryptographic message syntax, private-key information syntax, and certification request syntax, as well as selected attributes. - PKCS #15: Cryptographic Token Information Format Standard

• RFC 2314 - PKCS #10: Certification Request Syntax Version 1.5 - This document describes the PKCS #10 format, a syntax for certification requests. (B. Kaliski / RSA Laboratories East)
• RFC 2315 - PKCS #7: Cryptographic Message Syntax Version 1.5 - This document describes a general syntax for data pkcs that may public key infrastructure have cryptography applied to it, such pkcs as digital signatures and public key infrastructure digital envelopes. (B. Kaliski pkcs / RSA Laboratories, East)
• RFC 2437 - PKCS #1: RSA Cryptography Specifications Version 2.0 - This document provides recommendations for the implementation of pkcs public-key cryptography based on the RSA algorithm. (B. pkcs Kaliski, J. Staddon / RSA Laboratories)
• RFC 2313 - PKCS #1: RSA Encryption Version 1.5 - This document describes a method for encrypting data security using the RSA public-key cryptosystem. (B. Kaliski / security RSA Laboratories East)
