<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">This is what I’ve been looking at recently in preparation for next week’s meeting. Can you (or someone you’ve been talking to) what is meant by this? In 6.2.2
“Notation for requirements” there is a listing of the meanings of various cell values in the large table showing which elements / qualifying properties / services apply to which XAdES level. The last item under #5 reads:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">"*": means that the qualifying property or signature’s element (service) identified in the first column<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">should not be incorporated to the signature (provided) in the corresponding level. Upper signature levels<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">may specify other requirements.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Comparing to “shall not be present” it seems the key difference is “should not” vs. “shall not”. The example at the bottom of 6.2.2 looks at CompleteCertificateRefs.
The table entry for that row shows “*” for B-B and B-T and “shall not be present” for B-LT and B-LTA. Does that mean rows using “*” and “shall not be present” are effectively deprecating those elements/properties? These rows comprise four elements used in
XAdES-C plus the RefsOnlyTimeStamp and SigAndRefsTimeStamp.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Ultimately, I’m trying to compare the current XAdES levels with the upcoming ones and I can only see doing so by comparing which elements are allowed in each.
(Wouldn’t it be nice if there existed a schema for each level?)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
