The following errata report has been submitted for RFC4490,
"Using the GOST 28147-89, GOST R 34.11-94, GOST R 34.10-94, and GOST R
34.10-2001 Algorithms with Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)".

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <ah(_at_)TR-Sys(_dot_)de>
Section: 2.1, pg. 4
Original Text
-------------
When the Message Digest authenticated attribute is present, the
| DigestedData digest contains a 32-byte digest in little-endian
representation:
Corrected Text
--------------
When the Message Digest authenticated attribute is present, the
| DigestedData digest contains a 32-byte digest in big-endian
representation:
Notes
-----
Rationale:
- Contradiction to other parts of the document,
which use "big-endian" == 'network byte order'
as established in the Internet architecture.
- Please also note that the ASN.1 BER/DER encoding is
based on the 'natural' byte order for left-to-right
scripts -- otherwise the intrinsically variable-length
representation used would be very complicated to deal
with in processing.
- Intrduction of varying endian-ness is a likely source
of implementation issues and, consequentially,
interoperability problems.
Instructions:
-------------
This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
