It is a base64 encoded octet sequence corresponding to the encrypted 'raw' symmetric key material. It does not have a type other than being an octet sequence acceptable for use as a key for some encryption algorithm. Blair -----Original Message----- From: Joseph M.

I suspect I'm confusing myself, but what's in an EncryptedKey's CipherData? We can't specify this in schema easily (it's like a 2nd dimension) but I think we should say something, is it a KeyInfo, a child of KeyInfo (or something from some other namespace), or is it a raw symmetric key without a description of type? __ Joseph Reagle Jr. http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/ W3C Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org IETF/W3C XML-Signature Co-Chair http://www.w3.org/Signature W3C XML Encryption Chair http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/Received on Thursday, 29 March 2001 21:12:34 GMT
