I considered retaining namespace-specific packing. my concern is that in the channel binding response you want to remove values. This ends up being a bit namespace specific because of VSAs but seems to argue for the channel binding logic ending up getting stuck with a fair bit of namespace specific logic. I also really wanted to avoid more than one length for a given attribute because that tends to cause problems in a security protocol--they can get out of sync. A blob of RADIUS stuff all with its own length would not suffer from the length issue so much.
This is an area where I want us to decide quite quickly what the answer is going to be, but where I don't have a hugely strong opinion on what it is. I threw something out to make forward progress. So long as we can actually decide on something soon, I'm happy to change to another way of encoding. _______________________________________________ Emu mailing list Emu@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/emu
