RSA Laboratories - PKCS #7: Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard

This standard describes general syntax for data that may have cryptography applied to it, such as digital signatures and digital envelopes.

Version 1.5

PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard: ASCII, MS-Word, PostScript and Gzip PostScript

Version 1.6 Bulletin

In support of the SET protocol for secure electronic transactions, RSA Laboratories has produced a bulletin detailing changes to be made to PKCS #7 version 1.5 to update it to version 1.6 (which has not yet been published). Version 1.5 is still recommended for general use, and is the basis for the S/MIME specification.
