Abstract
New hash algorithms are being developed that may include parameters.Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) has not currently defined any hashalgorithms with parameters, but anecdotal evidence suggests thatdefining one could cause major problems. This document defines justsuch an algorithm and describes how to use it so that experiments canbe run to find out how bad including hash parameters will be. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internetcommunity.
