you don't have to start with implementing the full CAdES-LTA, you can start with just adding support for timestamping, the CAdES-T using time from the signature to verify it is as good as ignoring the certificate expiration date - if you need to make the signatures verifiable now, do that, not use the false sense of security of using easily fakeable date -- Regards, Hubert Kario Senior Quality Engineer, QE BaseOS Security team Web: www.cz.redhat.com Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkyňova 115, 612 00 Brno, Czech Republic
