Re: Granularity of authentication in swIPe
You seem to think that swIPe should not be standards track.
(Unfortunately, its difficult to know people's intent in EMail because
so much of the context and tone is lost -- please let me know if my
assessment is wrong.) Do you have objections to the way swIPe does
things? Please say so if you do -- that way they can be worked on and
the improvements will benefit everyone. If you would like a copy of
the code, I'll be happy to send that to you so that you can experiment
with it along with the rest of us.
I haven't had a chance to unpack the Usenix disk yet; as I recall, though,
swIPe has a one-byte keyid, which is unacceptable to me. It also has a
packet sequence number, which is a rather dubious construct that needs
a *lot* of debate, at the very least.
