I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. The summary of the review is: Ready with nits. This document specifies conventions for using RSA-KEM as a standalone KEM and using it with the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). I believe the document is sound and complete but found two trivial typos as below. The document did seem a bit dense and terse in some parts. Trivia: Note duplicated phrase in the 2nd sentence of this paragraph: The RSA-KEM Algorithm provides a fixed-length ciphertext. The recipient MUST check that the received byte string is the expected length and the expected length and corresponds to an integer in the expected range prior to attempting decryption with their RSA private key as described in Steps 1 and 2 of Appendix A.2. Appendix A: Inconsistent capitalization: SS, ss I did not check Appendices B through D. Thanks, Donald =============================== Donald E.
