Hi to all!
My Question is:
Is it useful a message as first to encrypt and
then to sign the encrypted result,
in example the encapsulatedData of a pkcs7SignedData structure
is a pkcs7encrypted data structure?
I know, it's senseless... ;-) but i found nothing in the standards.
Is there any sensible reason against this procedure(i hope so)?
thanks in advance.
with kind regards
