As an aside, I'm likely to oppose this sort of specification as it is counter to the rest of the spec where if some bit of variable syntax is not present, the semantic is unkown (application defined) instead of an implicit (default) semantic. Otherwise, it looks like we have a couple of options: 1. (the present scheme): the hash is user specified; mgf is SHA-1. 2. the hash and mgf is user specified and they are always the same. 3. the hash and mgf are independently user specified. -- 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/
