Re: [OPSEC] attacks on keyed-hash constructions



Hi Ran and Opsec,

this CFRG draft on the requirements of Message Authentication Codes might be useful in this discussion: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-fast-mac-requirements-01 It focuses on functional requirements, rather than security requirements. Comments would be welcome.

OPsec Folks,

David McGrew just posted a helpful note, with references,
to several other IETF/IRTF lists, partly in response to
a query I had made.

Here is a URL to his note:
  <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/saag/current/msg02428.html>

In the meantime, I have found a couple of papers that might be
relevant (likely some overlap with the ones that he cited in
his note above).  I'll try to post references and a short
summary of what they seem to say after I get a chance to read them.

So I think we're making some headway over time towards having
scientific data for the WG to evaluate.

Cheers,

Ran
