hi everyone i am a computer science student and am currently trying to implement a razor2-client in java. since there is almost no documentation i'm trying to reverse engineer the whole thing. there are two questions i can't answer by reading the source code:
(1) is it necessary that every client and every catalogue server choose the exactly same parts of a message for hashing? the fact that the server supplies a seed for the random number generator leads me to this assumption. (2) if (1) is true, why do you use perls random number generator (which could be different on every client) for this purpose, instead of including an own one in your source code, making razor independent from the rng of the system it is running on. (as a matter of fact, you get different random numbers if you run razor on linux vs if you run it on windows) (3) what are signatures v5 and higher that are used by spamnet? are they documented anywhere or are they kind of "secret" since they only appear in spamnet, not in razor? thanks for any help.
