      If a digital signature file is not encrypted, consumers shall not decrypt files that are referenced by <Reference> elements and that are encrypted before validating the signature.
      If a digital signature file is encrypted, consumers shall decrypt files that are referenced by <Reference> elements and that are encrypted before validating the signature.

      Description

      The ODF 1.2 part 3 CD01 specification currently does not explicitly state how references to encrypted files are handled.

      There are two uses cases:
      a) A signature is applied to an encrypted document. In this case, the signature would operate on the encrypted files.
      b) A signed document is encrypted. In this case, the signature would operate on the unencrypted files.
