RE: CMS Section 12, take 3

1998-07-22 13:22:12

Section 12.3.2.1 - Please omit the fact that RFC 2321 is being modified from
this section.  We are not modifying the what that the encryption algorithm
in 2313 is done, one the signing algorithm.

Section 12.4 Paragraph 3.  Please remove "probably easily" from the last
sentence.  We are now making a statment of fact not a question of how.  Also
remove the words "may be" and substitue "is" in the preceeding sentence.

Section 12.4 key wrap bullet 6.  Please change the last sentence to "The IV
must be encoded using the fixed value."

Section 12.4 Key unwrap - Add a new sentence to the end of bullet 1.  "(If
the IV is encoded as part of the parameters, it is an error if the IV is not
the fixed value.)"


Last note -  I have people who are complaining that the DSA and HMAC-SHA1
functions are taking no rather than NULL parameters.  Can you give me the
appropriate references so that I can hit someone over the head with them.
(Either you for being wrong or them for wanting what is wrong.)  Thanks --
