How does this document relate to <draft-ietf-smime-cms-mult-sign-02.txt> ?

Does it replace it ?

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group of the 
IETF.

      Title           : Multiple Signatures in S/MIME 
      Author(s)       : S. Turner
      Filename        : draft-ietf-smime-multisig-00.txt
      Pages           : 
      Date            : 2006-12-19
      
        CMS SignedData includes the SignerInfo structure to convey per-
        signer information. SignedData supports multiple signers and 
        multiple signature algorithms per-signer with multiple SignerInfo 
        structures. If a signer attaches more than one SignerInfo, there are 
        concerns that an attacker could perform a downgrade attack by 
        removing the SignerInfo(s) with the 'stronger' algorithm(s). This 
        document defines a signed attribute, its generation rules, and its 
        processing rules to allow signers to convey multiple SignerInfo 
        while protecting against downgrade attacks. Additionally, this 
        attribute may assist during periods of algorithm migration.

NOTE:  The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
