I think this is an error.
I think the end of the RFC 3852 algorithm should be:
IF (originatorInfo is absent) AND
(unprotectedAttrs is absent) AND
(all RecipientInfo structures are version 0)
THEN version is 0
ELSE version is 2
Do others agree?
Russ
Yes. I agree.
But that's by far an easy job, more of re-inventing the wheel:
Looking up my printed copy of RFC 3852, I found a bold question
mark on page 18, vis-a-vis of that algorithm, and an exclamation
mark pointing out the diff from 3369.
Sigh -- admittedly I had to recognize that apparently I never
had found the time to report errata for that RFC ... :-)
But *you* did, Russ! ( on 2005-01-22 )
Folks, please look up the result of Russ' error report at:
<http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=3852&eid=222>
Kind regards,
Alfred Hönes.
