Good point. > Should the short-names be IANA registered to prevent > this? This is a good idea. I've added: Such alternative name SHOULD be registered in the IANA "Hash Function Textual Names" registry. > (Should future names be limited to 9 chars?) I would rather not put extra restrictions on another registry due to limitations on SASL mechanism names. I would also note that the likelyhood of registering another SCRAM mechanism name is quite low, and the likelyhood of the conflict described above is even lower, so I wouldn't worry too much about this case anyway. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
