Re: Tolerance on Message Digest Attribute

All,

I agree with Eric that the proposals to omit the message digest attribute
from the transmitted signedData object do not enhance security and do create
a needless incompatibility between S/MIME v3 and v2 implementations.

I'm willing to accept either outcome; I just want to achieve closure,
and give potential non-S/MIME users of CMS (in particular Tim Dean and
the European community) one last chance to weigh in on the issue.
