This protocol addresses two immediate needs within the Internet PKI community: 1.

The need in S/MIME (Secure MIME) for a certificate enrollment protocol for DSA-signed certificates with Diffie-Hellman public keys. CMC also requires the use of the transport document and the requirements usage document along with this document for a full definition.
