CMS attributes question
2009-03-18 13:59:06
Hi list,
We have a question related to CMS that was raised during an ETSI session
around the CAdES standard:
we were wondering whether the behavior of an implementation encountering
an unknown attribute was defined. One line of thinking is that an
_unsigned_ attribute can be ignored by an implementation, but that the
signature validation should fail if an unknown _signed_ attribute is
encountered.
Is this behavior somehow defined in CMS (I did not see it, but I might
have missed it)?
Otherwise, what do you think? What does your implementation do when it
encounters an unknown signed attribute?
Regards,
