RFC 4049: BinaryTime: An Alternate Format for Representing Date and Time in ASN.1

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 6019.

Current version: RFC 6019 — BinaryTime: An Alternate Format for Representing Date and Time in ASN.1

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

This document specifies a new ASN.1 type for representing time: BinaryTime. This document also specifies an alternate to the signing-time attribute for use with the Cryptographic Message Syntax(CMS) SignedData and AuthenticatedData content types; the binary-signing-time attribute uses BinaryTime. CMS and the signing-time attribute are defined in RFC 3852. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
