Re: A contradiction between RFC3852 and RFC3278




Maxim,

I don't have any objection to adding the note to draft-smime-3278bis.

Hello Sean,

In all CMS messages that I’ve seen, when RSA algorithm is used, SignatureAlgorithm in the SignerInfo is rsaEncryption, not md5WithRSAEncryption. That’s why it made confusion when I was implementing elliptic curves.
Maybe, if an update of RFC3852 is planned, we will add a clarification for this?
Also, while RFC3278-bis is in the draft status, what about adding a clarification that hash in SignatureAlgorithm and DigestAlgorithm must match?
