PKCS
In cryptography, PKCS stands for "Public Key Cryptography Standards". These are a group of public-key cryptography standards devised and published by RSA Security LLC, starting in the early 1990s.
Public-Key Cryptography Standards
<cryptography, standard> (PKCS) A set of standards for
public-key cryptography, developed by {RSA Data Security,
Inc.} in cooperation with an informal consortium, originally
including Apple, Microsoft, DEC, Lotus, Sun and
MIT. The PKCS have been cited by the {OSI Implementers'
Workshop} (OIW) as a method for implementation of OSI
standards.
PKCS includes both algorithm-specific and
algorithm-independent implementation standards. Many
algorithms are supported, including RSA and Diffie-Hellman
key exchange, however, only the latter two are specifically
detailed. PKCS also defines an algorithm-independent syntax
for digital signatures, digital envelopes, and extended
digital certificates; this enables someone implementing any
cryptographic algorithm whatsoever to conform to a standard
syntax, and thus achieve interoperability.

PKCS
In cryptography, PKCS stands for "Public Key Cryptography Standards". These are a group of public key cryptography standards devised and published by RSA Security LLC, starting in the early 1990s. The company published the standards to promote the use of the cryptography techniques to which they had patents, such as the RSA algorithm, the Schnorr signature algorithm and several others. Though not industry standards (because the company retained control over them), some of the standards have begun to move into the "standards track" processes of relevant standards organizations in recent years, such as the IETF and the PKIX working group.
