RFC4880 S 5.5.2 says: > A series of multiprecision integers comprising the key material. but the additions to 5.5.2 by RFC6637 S 9 add non-MPI fields to this section without really indicating the intention to change the above situation and to have possibly-arbitrarily-typed algorithm-specific data. It feels like this could be made a little more clear with a statement to that effect being added to RFC6637 or something. -- Stephen Paul Weber, @singpolyma See <http://singpolyma.net> for how I prefer to be contacted edition right joseph
