Re: Critical Attributes1998-02-01 13:41:30All: Having heard from several implementors that the SEQUENCE { OID, BOOLEAN, SET OF ANY } is not an implementation problem, the next draft of CMS will include this structure for attributes. I do not plan to allow unauthenticated attribute to be critical. Since these attribute are not covered by the signature, they have no integrity protection. This means that an attacker or malicious recipient could turn the critical BOOLEAN to FALSE anyway. Russ
