XML Advanced Electronic Signatures
TS 101 733 [1] defines formats for advanced electronic signatures that remain valid over long periods, are compliant with the European Directive and incorporate additional useful information in common use cases (like indication of the commitment got by the signature production). Currently, it uses Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1) and is based on the structure defined in RFC 3852 [2] (in the present document the signatures aligned with this RFC will be denoted as CMS signatures).
