Hi, For Message and Cert signatures is there a NULL algorithm defined. That
is one which does NO encryption of the MIC or CIC.

I would like to put up software that handles PEM Messages in a sensible
way but that has no crypto in it so would be freely exportable. ...

I kind of think there should be a NULL algirthm if only to help in
certain debugging scenarios; however, it may not help you on export
as the export restrictions also apply to anything that has a reasonably
convenient place where a stronger crypto alorgithm could be inserted.

...

Pete.
