I suggest that ContentInfo is always present, then for the signed case: ContentInfo { contentType id-signedData, -- (1.2.840.113549.1.7.2) content SignedData } SignedData { version CMSVersion, -- always set to 3 digestAlgorithms DigestAlgorithmIdentifiers, -- Only one encapContentInfo EncapsulatedContentInfo, certificates CertificateSet, -- Signer cert. path crls CertificateRevocationLists, -- Optional signerInfos SET OF SignerInfo -- Only one } SignerInfo { version CMSVersion, -- always set to 3 sid SignerIdentifier, digestAlgorithm DigestAlgorithmIdentifier, signedAttrs SignedAttributes, -- Required signatureAlgorithm SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier, signature SignatureValue, unsignedAttrs UnsignedAttributes -- Optional } EncapsulatedContentInfo { eContentType <your-netconf-content-type> eContent OCTET STRING } -- Contains the content The unsigned case: ContentInfo { contentType <your-netconf-content-type> content -- Contains the content } Russ > On Feb 6, 2018, at 11:53 AM, Kent Watsen <kwatsen@juniper.net> wrote: > > Hi Russ, > > I'm looking into switching from PKCS7 to CMS change in the NETCONF > zerotouch draft.
