Type: Editorial
Reported by: Corey Bonnell <corey.bonnell@digicert.com>

Section: 6

Original Text
-------------
Certificate ::= SEQUENCE {
tbsCertificate TBSCertificate,
signatureAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
signatureValue BIT STRING }

...

For the Certificate structure, the signature value is
wrapped in the "signatureValue" BIT STRING field.

Corrected Text
--------------
Certificate ::= SEQUENCE {
tbsCertificate TBSCertificate,
signatureAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
signature BIT STRING }

...

For the Certificate structure, the signature value is
wrapped in the "signature" BIT STRING field.

Notes
-----
There is no field with the name "signatureValue" in the Certificate SEQUENCE. It is instead named "signature" according to the ASN.1 module in RFC 5280 A.1 as well as the ASN.1 module in section 14 of RFC 5912.
