CEES standards will specify algorithms (where not already specified in documents such as IEEE Std 1363-2000), parameter choices, implementation details, and in some cases protocol and security architecture designs, in order to enable developers to deploy standards-based architectures that can support mass-market adoption while satisfying security requirements.

Introduction As public-key cryptography begins to see wide application and acceptance one thing is increasingly clear: If it is going to be as effective as the underlying technology allows it to be, there must be interoperable standards.
For example, a standard for the syntax of digitally signed messages should be able to work with any public-key algorithm, not just RSA; and a standard for RSA should be applicable to many different message syntax standards.
We choose the definition that standard A is compatible with standard B if standard A provides something useful to standard B, where the usefulness may be contingent on a change in representation, and possibly on omission of information.
