Correct, ISO 32000-1 doesn’t refer to Advanced Signatures because that is an EU 
specific concept – it doesn’t apply outside the EU.  Also, the work of ESI STF 
364 on PAdES is recent.

My point was what you found lacking in ISO 32000-1 that would you want to use 
CAdES or XAdES instead?

Yes, I am aware of the DSS-X profiles – I am an observer in that group ;).  I 
also talk with Ezer and Juan Carlos frequently – and Juan Carlos is also a 
member of ETSI/ESI STF364 and helped developed PAdES.  I would think that you 
folks would indeed be best to base your work on PAdES…

Hi Leonhard,

ETSI-representative, that's quite impressive !

CadES versus PAdES is an interesting topic. Is there a document on pros / cons 
available ?

ISO 32000-1 : Yes, I searched the version PDF 32000-1:2008 before replying to 
Andrius mail. There is no place where 'Advanced' is even near 'Signature' ... 
Or do you refer to the 'original' ISO version ? I try to avoid to use 
non-public standards.

In the OASIS DSS-X we are currently working on a new set of signature profiles. 
A profile related to PAdES would be very useful, I guess !

Greetings

Andreas

I am the Adobe representative to ETSI/ESI (the folks who do CAdES/XAdES, and 
now PAdES, for PDF).

The direction being taken by ETSI/ESI and the ISO (who own PDF) is to NOT do 
CAdES/XAdES natively in PDF – because the models aren’t completely compatible – 
but instead to take the philosophy behind those standards and adjust the PDF 
signature functionality (as necessary) to offer similar functionality.

Have you read the PDF Reference/ISO 32000-1 concerning PDF signatures?  What 
there isn’t clear?

Cool, I didn't know that !
Anyway, the current topic is about how to fiddle OCSP responses into PKCS7 / 
CMS attributes.
I would recommend something to use like CAdES / XAdES as a standard where the 
semantic of any type of certificate status and revocation information is 
clearly defined.

I have heard Adobe is active in that direction. Does the good old reader 
support these standards already ?

Greetings
Andreas

PDF IS an approved “Advanced Signature standard” by the EU under ETSI TS 102 
778.

Hi Andrius,thanks for the quick reply !
 I haven't seen OCSP included in a PKCS7, would expect to use an Advanced 
Signature standard to use a standard way to included it.
