List,
I remember someone saying something sometime ago about their work on
implementing PKI in ethereal.
In order to avoid duplication of efforts I want to inform that I plan to
start implementing some of these or at least
related specifications in ethereal.
So, if you have started or have code, speak up now.

The ones i am looking at initially are the three RFCs :
RFC:3369  : Cryptographic Message Syntax
RFC:3281  : A Internet Attribute Certificate Profile for Authorization
RFC:3280  : Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and
Certificate Revocation List Profile

I thought of implementing them as separate protocols (even though they are
not protocols per se)
so that their hf fields are logically grouped together.

In doing so I thought of calling the files and protocols :
RFC:3369   packet-cms.c  "cms"
RFC:3281   packet-pki-acprofile.c  "pki-acprofile"
RFC:3280   packet-pki-c-crl.c  "pki-c-crl"

Anyone have ideas of better names for the .c files and protocol names?


Tomas, would your asn1 compiler be useful for this task?
