RFC 3281 Omission




Dear PKIX WG:


Jim Schaad discovered that an OID necessary for implementation of encrypted attributes as described in section 7.1 of RFC 3281 was not included in the document. To fix this problem, I have assigned the missing OID.

The document says:

   The AC then contains the ciphertext inside its signed data.  The
   EnvelopedData (id-envelopedData) ContentType is used, and the content
   field will contain the EnvelopedData type.

It should also say:

Within EnvelopedData, the encapuslatedContentInfo identifies the content
type carried withing the ciphertext. In this case, the contentType field of
encapuslatedContentInfo MUST contain id-ct-attrCertEncAttrs, which
has the following value:


      attrCertEncAttrs OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
            { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9)
              id-smime(16) id-ct(1) 14 }

Enjoy,
   Russ
