RecipientInfo vs SignerInfo key identification

1998-11-22 07:06:41
I've noticed that RecipientInfo identifies a key with a CHOICE between 
IssuerAndSerialNumber and SubjectKeyIdentifier, but SignerInfo only allows 
IssuerAndSerialNumber.  Presumably whatever reason requires the SKI in the 
RecipientInfo should also require it in the SignerInfo, could these be merged 
to create a unified identifier type (ie they both use a RecipientInfo-style 
CHOICE)?
