The SSL Protocol Version 3.0, 18-Nov-96 states that the padding for a MAC write key is as follows (sorry I can' provide the section): For MD5, the MAC write key is 16 bytes (the size of the hash). It is padded with 48 bytes of a known byte sequence to produce 64 bytes of salt. For SHA, the MAC write key is 20 bytes (the size of the hash). The spec that I am reading says that it is to be padded with _40_ bytes of a known byte sequence to produce 60 bytes of salt. Why isn't the MAC write key for SHA padded with 44 bytes? Thanks in advance. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Administrative requests should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | List service provided by Open Software Associates, http://www.osa.com/ | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
