Hi all,

I have a problem reading a P7M file with sun.security.pkcs.PKCS7 class.

The exception is thrown by the last code line:

[...]

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("c:\test\file.pdf.p7m");

PKCS7 pk = new PKCS7(fis); <----- ERROR !!!

[...]

The Exception is:

sun.security.pkcs.ParsingException: IOException: toDerInputStream rejects
tag type -96

I have created the P7M file with an "official" application that reads
Certificate from a Smart Card, and I have checked it with another "official"
application that correctly reads the file.



Thank you, Vittorio Avallone

I have created the P7M file with an "official" application that reads
Certificate from a Smart Card, and I have checked it with another "official"
application that correctly reads the file.

Maybe it's incorrectly encoded and the 'official' application
is more forgiving than Sun's internal classes? What does a utility
like Peter Gutmann's dumpasn1 [1] or bouncycastle's ASN1
implementation say?
