ESS : Secure Receipt encoding within EncapsulatedContentInfo

2000-03-16 01:41:01
... and now for something completely different:
 
According to the ESS RFC on page 16, step 9:
 
9.  The ASN.1 DER encoded Receipt content MUST be directly encoded within
the signedData encapContentInfo eContent OCTET STRING defined in [CMS].
 
Should eContent be a DER-encoding of the receipt?
    or
Should eContent be a DER-encoding of an OCTET STRING containing the
DER-encoding of the receipt?
 
The word "directly" seems to indicate that the former is the correct one.
Just tell me I'm not crazy.
