In Section 2, you write: the requirements of Section 4.2.2 of RFC 1323 [RFC1323], and F() is a function that should not be computable from the outside. Therefore, we suggest F() to be a cryptographic hash function of the connection-id and some secret data. Sorry to sound like nitpicky cryptographer guy here, but you want a PRF, not a hash function. A hash function might or might not be good enough depending on the function... -Ekr _______________________________________________ tcpm mailing list tcpm@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tcpm
