Hi! At first a happy new year to all! I need a clarification to following sentence from RFC 2630, section 11.4, Countersignature: "The countersignature attribute must be an unsigned attribute; it cannot be a signed attribute, an authenticated attribute, or an unauthenticated attribute." What is the difference between: a) signed attribute <-> authenticated attribute b) unsigned attribute <-> unauthenticated attribute to relate to CMS? Where is located a (un)authenticated attribute in an signed-data CMS? I thought, it exist as (un)signed attribute in the SignerInfo, or is this complete beside them? Thanks in advance with kind regards -- Mors certa, hora incerta.
