Re: Re: [dss-x] A detail on the client side signing

Hi Juan Carlos,

we talked about the 'local signing' scenario using Ernst's slides. And there a the topic raised that a (human) signer may need some more readable information regarding the signing request. So I like to propose this information to be a proposed addition to the core. An additional profile for just a single attribute smells like overkill to me.

Greetings

Andreas
