Section 4.8 & 4.9 says:
In 4.8, From: aliceDss@examples.com Subject: Example 4.8 Message-Id: <020906002550300.249@examples.com> In 4.9, From: aliceDss@examples.com Subject: Example 4.9 Message-Id: <021031164540300.304@examples.com>
It should say:
In 4.8, From: AliceDSS@example.com Subject: Example 4.8 Message-Id: <020906002550300.249@example.com> In 4.9, From: AliceDSS@example.com Subject: Example 4.9 Message-Id: <021031164540300.304@example.com>
Notes:
"From" line of the RFC-822 message is aliceDss@examples.com, while the certificate’s SubjectAlternativeName contains Rfc822Name = AliceDSS@example.com
So the two emails are different in the host part:
aliceDss@examples.com
AliceDSS@example.com
The wrong email (aliceDss@examples.com) is given in both cleartext examples and encoded examples.
Additionally, the Message-Id should also be from example.com not from examples.com.
