-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There has been a variety of discussion on this issue. The consensus appears to be emerging that we retain a simple, deterministic header format, and leave alignment issues to implementations: +------+------+------+------...-----+ | KIND | LEN | TSPI | MAC......... | +------+------+------+------...-----+ each of the first three fields are one byte (Alfred Hoenes suggested we rename the KeyID to a TSPI, i.e., a TCP-AO security parameters index, since it corresponds to the SPI in IPsec, i.e., it indexes from among a set of security parameters for a connection) - ------- Comments? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiQ768ACgkQE5f5cImnZrsHHgCZAQtg8K4rnDQwVxhtz+4J9zHJ zrUAnROm7aAOv3Y8Zlwy0xP4VotqG6rf =87hd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tcpm mailing list tcpm@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tcpm
