RFC 9879: Use of Password-Based Message Authentication Code 1 (PBMAC1) in PKCS #12 Syntax
Informational
A. Kario
September 2025
IETF publication
Security Area
Abstract
This document specifies additions and amendments to RFCs 7292 and 8018. It also obsoletes the RFC 9579. It defines a way to use the Password-Based Message Authentication Code 1 (PBMAC1), defined in RFC 8018, inside the PKCS #12 syntax. The purpose of this specification is to permit the use of more modern Password-Based Key Derivation Functions (PBKDFs) and allow for regulatory compliance.
