Title : Commentary on the Design of the Authenticated
Encrypted Data Content Type
Author(s) : J. Schaad
Filename : draft-schaad-smime-aed-rant-00.txt

The Authenticated Encrypted Data Content Type allows for the use of
Authenticated Encryption modes with block cipher algorithms. At the
time of the original design there was discussion about the relative
location of the authenticated attributes and the encrypted content in
the ASN.1 structure. With the benefits of implementation experience
I revisit the discussion made at the time and re-evaluate the
decision made.
