Re: flexibility of the ESSCertID field

2005-11-09 09:00:45


   ESSCertIDv2 ::=  SEQUENCE {
        hashAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier DEFAULT id-sha1,
        certHash Hash,
        issuerSerial  IssuerSerial OPTIONAL
   }

I prefer this approach because it is always fewer octets, and it generates
the same ESSCertID output when SHA-1 is used.

Adding new field at the end may be better for ASN.1 parsing

ESSCertIDv2 ::=  SEQUENCE {
        certHash Hash,
issuerSerial IssuerSerial OPTIONAL, hashAlgorithm [0] AlgorithmIdentifier DEFAULT { algorithm id-sha1 } }
