Bert,
[ !!! MUCH CUT !!! ]
Since according to the PKCS introduction RSA has taken it upon >themselves to
be the sole arbitrar of these standards, may I ask
what you intend to do about updating the PKCS standards to
conform with the revised X.509?
I, individually, do not believe that RSA has "taken it upon
themselves", but have been 'carefully' following standards.
If you believe that RSA is being cautious in modifying, or
expanding, the PKCS scope I would have to agree with that
perception (sp?).
I hope to see v3 support to be coming out in (formal) PKCS
specifications, but I do not believe that 'RSA' is solely
involved in this decision.
DISCLAIMER: I am an employee of RSA, but this is not a company
response... Please do not take it as such. Flame on me,
personallly.
Thanks,
Jeff
