Hi,
I have have done a few tests on the CMS S/MIME examples and found
some problems :
-the old OID "1.3.14.3.2.29" for SHA1withRSA is used in Alice's RSA certificate (AliceRSASignByCarl.cer) instead of "1.2.840.113549.1.1.5" (which is the one given in the ASN.1 description).
-the SubjectKeyIdentifier in the example 5.7 is 20 octets long while
in the corresponding certificate the extension's value is 22 octets long
(the first two octets are missing).
-the S/MIME examples have a <CR> end of line whereas it should have been <CR><LF>
-the 5.9 S/MIME example have a protocol parameter in its Content-Type header with a value of application/pkcs7-signature instead of "application/pkcs7-signature" (and this parameter does not appear in the
description of the example, only in the base64)
-the descriptions often do not match the examples.


could you tell me if you found the same problems, if they will be fixed, or if i misunderstood something.
thanks,
yves
