.. and it is not only the algorithm alone, where my numbers compared a plain and simple self-contained 45 KB (x86_64 compiled) string suffix sort algorithm to a fully-fledged analyzing diff(1) implementation that is actively maintained and developed for 37 years by world-wide known and respected programmers among which are teaching professors of universities which collect noble and other prizes at numbers that almost extend my own counting capabilites. You will not get the same numbers with this/that header/body line memory comparison logic. No, it think it is also worthwhile mentioning that this approach leaves programmers alone with "message state machine transition" detection. Whereas the ACDC approach loudly announces any detected state change as part of the flag state machine all along the path; And makes this thus a very active part of message verification and for example collection of RFC 5863 "organizational trust". With this approach MUAs but also DKIM software has to collect all the necessary data over and over again, by checking it all, looking for presence of diff headers, etc; with ACDC (letting aside draft misses and bugs) you look at the flags of the latest signature, and are (possibly) done with it. Yes, this is doable. (Almost) Anything is doable. But is this a step into the right direction, does it make things easier for software, .. or is it even getting more complicated, over, and over, and over again. For ACDC a MUA that opens a DKIM verified message can simply trust the flags. And that's all. Out of interest: .. you could retry your test with the word "Dankeschön" (ö=U+00F6), which is, well, the actual German word to use. From guessing i would think your approach then already becomes noisy (you leave the 7-bit clean world), whereas (AC)DC only spits out some more base64 bytes. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) | |During summer's humble, here's David Leonard's grumble | |The black bear, The black bear, |blithely holds his own holds himself at leisure |beating it, up and down tossing over his ups and downs with pleasure | |Farewell, dear collar bear _______________________________________________ Ietf-dkim mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
