-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid4382 -------------------------------------- Status: Rejected Type: Technical Reported by: Laura Corcoran <lsco...@nsa.gov> Date Reported: 2015-05-29 Rejected by: EKR (IESG) Section: 4.3 Original Text ------------- In the following example, Datum is defined to be three consecutive bytes that the protocol does not interpret, while Data is three consecutive Datum, consuming a total of nine bytes. opaque Datum[3]; /* three uninterpreted bytes */ Datum Data[9]; /* 3 consecutive 3 byte vectors */ Corrected Text -------------- In the following example, Datum is defined to be three consecutive bytes that the protocol does not interpret, while Data is three consecutive Datum, consuming a total of nine bytes. opaque Datum[3]; /* three uninterpreted bytes */ Datum Data[3]; /* 3 consecutive 3 byte vectors */ Notes ----- The 9 in "Datum Data[9]" should be a 3 because Datum is a data type that consumes 3 bytes, so as written the Data vector is 27 bytes long. To make it a 9 byte vector the 9 must change to a 3. --VERIFIER NOTES-- This is not correct. The value here is the number of bytes, not the count of items. -------------------------------------- RFC5246 (draft-ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis-10) -------------------------------------- Title : The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2 Publication Date : August 2008 Author(s) : T.
