Re: Key-Info field

1993-03-03 09:04:00
Does anyone know what the semantics of this locally-selectable option are?
That is, if you see a Key-Info field immediately following an Originator-
Certificate, what do you do with its contents and what does this tell you
about the message?

The Key-Info field immediately after an Originator-Certificate contains
the DEK encrypted with the originator's public component so that at a later
date, the originator can decrypt her own msgs.
