All,
I agree with all of Scott's comments, except that I strongly believe that
the ContentIdentifier and EncapsulatedContentType attributes must be allowed
to be used as attributes included in the authenticatedAttributes of a
SignerInfo. They are required to replicate the MSP signedContentIdentifier
and encapsulatedContentType fields included in the MSP SignatureBlock
SignatureInformation. They are most useful in SignerInfos that do not
request signed receipts. I agree with Scott's comments that OIDs must be
defined for these attributes.
[SAH] OK, now I recall where they came from. That being the case,
ContentIdentifier needs to be defined. How about this:
ContentIdentifier ::= OCTET STRING
Then, the following should happen:
Section 1.3.4
Change ContentIdentifier to contentIdentifier and EncapsulatedContentType
to encapsulatedContentType to reference the to-be-defined OIDs.
Section 2.8
Change the definition of signedContentIdentifier from OCTET STRING to
ContentIdentifier.
I think that closes the loop.
