Re: Lack of Clarity in RFC 1423 ?

1993-03-05 15:52:00
Just to be clear, the OID is included within RFC 1423, in Section 2,
which describes both the MD2 and MD5 message digest algorithms, cites
the RFCs, 1319 and 1321, respectively, AND includes the OIDs.

Section 2 specifies the OID for "md2" whereas section 4.3.1 talks about
"md2WithRSAEncryption."  In the specification of md2WithRSAEncryption
in 4.3.1, the OID is specified as iso(1) member-body(2) US(840)
rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-1 (1) 2.

I think changing 4.3.1 to say the right thing would be helpful.
