Why not advise that a long higher entropy secret needs to be used? - section 4: I hate to do this to you, but if by saying "password" you also mean "entered by a human and likely a human memorable secret" then aren't there i18n considerations? Non-ascii characters in there are otherwise likely to lead to a lack of interop. If you wanted my advice as to how to avoid that, I'd go for RECOMMENDING that the secret be entered as ascii-hex digits and that 32 such digits be used if possible. - section 8: What "stronger" auth trailer do you mean in the last para? The weakness is that a password is used - the rest (e.g. hmac-sha-256 vs. hmac-sha-1) is in the noise. Maybe re-phrase. _______________________________________________ OSPF mailing list OSPF@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ospf
