Re: Many changes to the ASN.1 OIDs page

Paul,

Two comments regarding the "OIDs Used with S/MIME" document:


1) Please change id-dsa-with-sha1 to: 

id-dsa-with-sha1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
   {iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) x9-57(10040) x9cm(4) 3}
--        (The parameters field must be absent. Implementations should
--        also accept identifiers in which the parameters field is 
--        present and contains a NULL ASN.1 type.)

Note: Absent is the default according to the changes that are supposed to be
made to X9.57 by Rich Ankney.



2) Please add:

id-dsa OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
   {iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) x9-57(10040) x9cm(4) 1}
--       (When used in CMS signedData signerInfo signatureAlgorithm,
--        the parameters field must be absent. Implementations should
--        also accept identifiers in which the parameters field is 
--        present and contains a NULL ASN.1 type.)
