I don't think that OASIS PKCS11 TC has made any changes in that area to upcoming 2.40 and issues of normalization have never been brought up there either; I talked about it to Valerie Fenwick, one of the chairs of OASIS PKCS11 TC. I think that saying that characters from US-ASCII set SHOULD be used for labels and names since the PKCS#11 spec is not clear about the normalization should be safe here. which is what I did in draft 18 I've filed today and it contains the changes on how to deal with UTF-8 which have been discussed in the last couple of weeks. https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-pechanec-pkcs11uri-18.txt cheers, Jan. -- Jan Pechanec <jan.pechanec@oracle.com>
