RFC 3126: Electronic Signature Formats for long term electronic signatures

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 5126.

Current version: RFC 5126 — CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines the format of an electronic signature that can remain valid over long periods. This includes evidence as to its validity even if the signer or verifying party later attempts to deny (i.e., repudiates the validity of the signature). This memo provides information for the Internet community.
