The reason for use of the CarriedKeyName attribute is that one can't have duplicate ID attribute values in a single document. Hence, using an ID attribute one couldn't indicate that several EncryptedKey structures contain the same key value encrypted for different recipients. -----Original Message----- From: Dournaee, Blake [mailto:bdournaee@rsasecurity.com] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 9:39 PM To: XML Encryption WG Subject: CarriedKeyName Hello All, I have a question/comment. From what I understand the CarriedKeyName attribute is meant to identify a given <EncryptedKey> structure. If this is the case, why not simply rely on the Id attribute of <EncryptedKey>? As far as I can tell, CarriedKeyName doesn't really identify a recipient. The Id attribute can provide the same functionality with one less attribute.
