Abstract

   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).

   The format can be considered as an extension to RFC 2630 and RFC
   2634, where, when appropriate additional signed and unsigned
   attributes have been defined.
