> From owner-db-wg at ripe.net Mon Mar 25 13:26:38 2002 Dear Andrei, > Please find enclosed the MD5 proposal for your comments and suggestions. Great! One small comment, probably need for clarification. > When submitting an update to the database that needs to be authorised using > this scheme, a "password:" pseudo-attribute must be used to submit a key > (passphrase). Line continuation is not allowed for this attribute, so the > whole key should fit on one line. Let's suppose I send in a message with password: Hello (note the three spaces). It is not clear to me where the passphrase would start. I can think of two valid approaches: 1. At the first character after the first white space (space or tab) following the colon (":") (in my example the passphrase would be then " Hello"). 2. At the first non-whitespace character after the colon (in which case the passphrase would be "Hello"). I think I would vote for the second approach which is more intuitive to me. BTW: how does this work with CRYPT-PW? I would think it is the second approach. Best regards, Janos PS: I apologize if this is specified somewhere.
