In fact, this document is the draft of the 4th edition of the 3rd version of the X.509 standard, not the draft of the 4th version of the X.509 standard. A new edition adds clarification, but doesn't change the standard. Compare 1997 and 2000 editions, for example. -- Erwann ABALEA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
