AW: [dss-x] A question to the forum

Hallo Ezer,

 

in my point of view the explicit specification of the hash algorithm to 

be used for the signature generation is very similar to the explicit selection of 

a specific key (and hence implicitely signature algorithm + hash algorithm), 

if there are multiple options available. Therefore I would propose to use the 

KeySelector-structure (section 3.5.4 of the Core) and simply define structures, 

which may appear in the Other-element. 

 

What do think about this approach?

 

BR,

 Detlef

Hi,

 

I went over the DSS-core and could not find a way to direct the server to use a certain hash mechanism when performing a CMS signature or XML signature on a given document.
(When a hash is given it is possible to use the DigestMethod or the relevant given hash).

Did anyone bump into such a request?

 

Thanks,

Ezer
