hello,
somewhere I read that Denis Pinkas had proposed to move the
Signing Certificate Attribute description from ess to cms.
I wonder whether the whole chapter 5 should go there.
In particular chapter 5 is not introduced in the introduction:
This document describes three optional security service extensions for
S/MIME. These services provide functionality that is similar to the Message
Security Protocol [MSP4], but are useful in many other environments,
particularly business and finance. The services are:
- signed receipts
- security labels
- secure mailing lists
Or, at least, there should be one phrase about chapter 5 in the introduction
such that a reader who continues and reads
This document describes both the procedures and the attributes needed for
the three services. Note that some of the attributes described in this
document are quite useful in other contexts and should be considered when
extending S/MIME or other CMS applications.
would really read the document.
