This document describes the conventions for using the Boneh-Franklin
        (BF) and Boneh-Boyen (BB1) identity-based encryption algorithms in
        the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) to encrypt content 
encryption
        keys. Object identifiers and the convention for encoding a
        recipient's identity are also defined.

The purpose of this WG Last Call is to ensure that the Working Group has 
achieved consensus that the document is suitable for publication as an 
Informational RFC.

Please review the document for both technical and editorial problems. 
Technical issues should be discussed on this list. Editorial issues may 
be sent to the document editor.

The Last Call period will end on Friday, February 9, 2007.


Upon completion of the last call, the WG chairs will take action based 
upon the consensus of the WG. Possible actions include:


   1) recommending to the IETF Security Area Directors
      that the document, after possible editorial or
      other minor changes, be considered by the IESG
      for publication as an Informational RFC
      (which generally involves an IETF-wide Last Call); or


   2) requiring that outstanding issues be adequately
      addressed prior to further action (including,
      possibly, another WG Last Call).


Remember that it is our responsibility as Working Group members to
ensure the quality of our documents and of the Internet Standards
process.  So, please read and comment!
