Folks, In the Schema for Section 3.2 we define CipherValue to be of type ds:CryptoBinary, but it should be defined as base64Binary. ds:CryptoBinary implies that the encoded quantity is a bignum and cannot have leading zero bytes, and this isn't true CipherValue. It is quite possible, of course, for random ciphertext to have leading zero octets. All the other occurrences of ds:CryptoBinary are in the schema for D-H keys (Section 5.5.1), and these should remain ds:CryptoBinary as they are true bignums. --bal
