RFC 8358: Update to Digital Signatures on Internet-Draft Documents
Recent RFCs 2018-03-13
Summary:
RFC 5485 specifies the conventions for digital signatures on
Internet-Drafts. The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) is used to
create a detached signature, which is stored in a separate companion
file so that no existing utilities are impacted by the addition of
the digital signature.
The RFC Editor recently published the first RFC that includes non-
ASCII characters in a text file. The conventions specified in RFC
7997 were followed. We assume that non-ASCII characters will soon
start appearing in Internet-Drafts as well. This document updates
the handling of digital signatures on Internet-Drafts that contain
non-ASCII characters in a text file.
This document updates RFC 5485.
