Countersignature within CMS

1998-06-22 06:27:06
Hi all,

I would like to know whether anyone uses or intends to use the
Countersignature attribute type defined in section 11.4 in
draft-ietf-smime-cms-04.txt.

I myself do not see a use for it as I can't trust it. It is not
authenticated and it provides one or more signatures on a signature value
which may not be valid.

Bill.
