CryptoSys PKI Pro Manual

Additional security attributes [New in v12.4]

Include the option PKI_CMS_ADD_SIGNINGCERT (Cms.SigDataOptions.AddSigningCertificate) to add an ESS Signing Certificate Attribute to the signed attributes. The signing certificate attribute is designed to prevent simple substitution and re-issue attacks by cryptographically linking the certificate used to create the signature with the signature itself. This is required for B-level conformance with CAdES-BES [CADES], which in turn refers to ESS [RFC2634] and [RFC5035].

Include the option PKI_CMS_ADD_ALGPROTECT (Cms.SigDataOptions. AddAlgProtection) to add an Algorithm Protection Attribute to the signed attributes. This is in accordance with [RFC6211]. If a CMS validator supports this attribute (which this Toolkit now does - see CMS_VerifySigData), then additional checks are made to protect against signature and message digest algorithm substitution attacks.
