Hello, The 'Introduction' of draft-kato-tls-rfc4132bis-03 still contains a lot of details regarding the Camellia cipher primitive proper, which IMO are out of scope and not needed for this document describing the use of that building block in TLS. The fundamental reference, RFC 3713, already contains what needs to be said, and it is not very useful to have every document making use of that cipher repeat the same or similar verbiage. I strongly suggest that the bulk of the 'marketing prose' in Section 1 (para 2 ff.) be removed from the draft -- in a similar manner as it has been done now for the companion Camellia for IPsec draft. Otherwise, I suggest that the WG consider the portfolio question I already had raised in http://www.IETF.ORG/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg03242.html (combining Camellia-256 with SHA-384 instead of SHA-256) and make a decision on whether that document should be adopted as a WG document or recommended as an individual submission for PS. Thoughts? Opinions? Kind regards, Alfred Hönes. -- +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | TR-Sys Alfred Hoenes | Alfred Hoenes Dipl.-Math., Dipl.-Phys. | | Gerlinger Strasse 12 | Phone: (+49)7156/9635-0, Fax: -18 | | D-71254 Ditzingen | E-Mail: ah@TR-Sys.de | +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
