Hi, this seems to be a nice thread to jump in ;-) I noticed that many of the X.520 Selected attributes are of type DirectoryString which in turn is a choice of teletexString, printableString and universalString. Does anybody know when which Form is to be used and wether a transformation between these types (if possible) is allowed and gives equal meaning. Of course, if it's within a SIGNED context then the answer is clear: one can't change the types. But in other cases? read you later - Holger Reif ---------------------------------------- Signaturprojekt Deutsche Einheit TU Ilmenau - Informatik - Telematik (Verdamp lang her) Holger.Reif@PrakInf.TU-Ilmenau.DE Alt wie ein Baum werden, um ueber http://Remus.PrakInf.TU-Ilmenau.DE/Reif/ alle 7 Bruecken gehen zu koennen
