New hash algorithms are being developed that may include parameters.
Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) has not currently defined any hash
algorithms with parameters, but anecdotal evidence suggests that
defining one could cause major problems. This document defines just
such an algorithm and describes how to use it so that experiments can
be run to find out how bad including hash parameters will be.
This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community.
EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
