Re: Nonce in EncryptedData or CipherData

Hi,

Yes, the Nonce was moved to EncryptedData and I guess those references
were missed...

And I agree on the AgreementMethod Nonce :-)

Unless someone objects, its name should be changed to AMNonce or the
like (it's not Diffie-Hellman specific so I don't really like DHNonce).

Thanks,
Donald
