Re: 8/26/98 S/MIME WG Minutes

1998-09-25 17:28:43
I may have misinterpreted things, appologies. I wasn't objecting to the
minutes as such but making comments about the points raised. I couldn't
comment on the minutes: I wasn't there :-)

I'll just expand a little on my comment about tolerating NULL with DSA.
I've now had time to check Netscape Messenger in 4.06. It uses NULL
everywhere including SMIMECapabilities when signing using DSA with SHA1.
This isn't intended as a criticism of the Netscape implementation: it
probably pre-dates the recommendation.

I'll leave mentioning the rest until the other points are raised in due
course.

Steve.
