Re: Fwd: DSS and PAdES

[Stefan Drees <stefan@drees.name>]

Hello Martin,

sorry for answering now and not earlier, but discussions profit from 
taking some time :-)


The TC has discussed the matter and in the meantime has analyzed, that
either the DSS core specification must be ammended with an additional
section on PDF signatures (as well as the AdES profile) or a new PAdES
profile must be created.


I hope this helps. I will answer Thomas' mail along the same lines just 
to make sure all dsicussion threads are in sync.

All the best,
Stefan.
