The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5652, "Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5652&eid=2026 -------------------------------------- Type: Editorial Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <ah@TR-Sys.de> Section: 5.3, pg. 15 Original Text ------------- [[ around the page break from page 14 to page 15: ]] digestAlgorithm identifies the message digest algorithm, and any associated parameters, used by the signer. The message digest is computed on either the content being signed or the content << page break >> together with the signed attributes using the process described in Section 5.4. The message digest algorithm SHOULD be among those | listed in the digestAlgorithms field of the associated SignerData. ^^^^^^^^^^ Implementations MAY fail to validate signatures that use a digest algorithm that is not included in the SignedData digestAlgorithms set. Corrected Text -------------- digestAlgorithm identifies the message digest algorithm, and any associated parameters, used by the signer. The message digest is computed on either the content being signed or the content together with the signed attributes using the process described in Section 5.4. The message digest algorithm SHOULD be among those | listed in the digestAlgorithms field of the associated SignedData. Implementations MAY fail to validate signatures that use a digest algorithm that is not included in the SignedData digestAlgorithms set. Notes ----- Rationale: There's no such ASN.1 type/object named "SignerData" in relevant specifications. Text should refer to "SignedData" instead. This is an undetected legacy flaw inherited literally from RFC 2630, RFC 3369, and RFC 3852. Instructions: ------------- This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG) can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC5652 (draft-ietf-smime-rfc3852bis-00) -------------------------------------- Title : Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) Publication Date : September 2009 Author(s) : R.
