The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6030,
"Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6030&eid=3418

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Simon Josefsson <simon@josefsson.org>

Section: 7 and 11

Original Text
-------------
Section 7:
       <Signature>

Section 11:
               <xs:element name="Signature"
                    type="ds:SignatureType" minOccurs="0"/>


Corrected Text
--------------
Section 7:
       <ds:Signature>

Section 11:
               <xs:element ref="ds:Signature" minOccurs="0"/>


Notes
-----
It seems the Signature element is in the wrong namespace, making PSKC incompatible with the XMLDsig specification.

There is a thread on this on the XMLSec mailing list:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.xmlsec/4178

Both Aleksey Sanin (author of the XMLSec library) and G. Ken Holman (XML
expert) appear to believe this is an error in the XML schema for PSKC:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.xmlsec/4178/focus=4181
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.xmlsec/4178/focus=4185

This was brought up on the keyprov mailing list:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.keyprov/1011
