Re: A Modest Proposal (for a MD5 replacement)

[hughes@hughes.network.com (James P Hughes)]

I will be putting a set of thoughts out at the meeting either formally or
informally.

There is a potential to increase the performance because a keyed hash can
keep the nonlinear permutations private to the association and thus the
attacks available are reduced.

I have some serious questions that I must answer before the I will be
satified about the contents. There will probably be several itterations
before an algorithm can be settled on.

I agree with others that the AH document can move forward to the standards
track  draft status and this or other hashing algorithms can be added
later.

By the way, Can I get 30 minutes or so on the agenda to discuss this?

Thanks



Jim
