To close on the issue of electronic signatures, I propose that the following text be included as paragraph two in Section 6.1, Algorithm Identifiers and Implementation Requirements: "This specification defines a set of algorithms, their URIs, and requirements for implementation. In general, requirements apply to implementations, not to signature use. However, this specification REQUIRES cryptographic SignatureMethods for SignatureValue generation and verification. Other authenticators (electronic, biometric, etc.) may be included ONLY as a supplement to the cryptographic signature via the SignatureProperty element type." This should remove any ambiguity. --BarbReceived on Monday, 12 June 2000 16:39:47 GMT
