changes proposal for nym-spec
Hi,
I am currently writing a nymserver in python with Laurent. Some
questions about the specs :
- section 2.1
"Each message also has:
A 32-byte message identifier"
everywhere else the message identifier is 20 bytes long
- section 4.3
"The signature field is equal to the RSA-OAEP+ signature ..."
mixminion uses the RSA-OAEP signature. Is this signature unsafe in the
context of the nymserver. Can the specs be changed from RSA-OAEP+ to
RSA-OAEP?
If it is not possible, do you know of any library implementing
RSA-OAEP+? I have the impression that it is not in OpenSSL.
- section 4.3.7
"the AFTER field requests that only summaries newer than the message ID
specified be returned."
Is it a good idea/is it necessary to specify a message ID older than
everyone else? Z(20) for exemple?
thx,
JR
