The section about iterative hash function "IHF" in the CPace draft (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-haase-cpace-01) is orphan documentation and should be removed.


The function "IHF" is used inconsistently in the AuCPace draft (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-haase-aucpace-01). Sometimes omitting sigma (the work parameters) and in different order than defined.

It's defined as:
IHF(salt, username, pw, sigma)

but used like:
IHF(username,pw,salt)
IHF(pwd,username,salt)
IHF(salt, username, password)
IHF(sigma,username,password, salt)
