[tor-dev] IMPT -- Re: Future Onion Addresses and Human Factors



Aside: in pursuit of helping Jake register â.onionâ as a "special nameâ in an RFC, I am currently being beaten-up on the IETF discussion mail-list regards the potential future length of onion addresses, and that they may possibly exceed the bounds of DNSâ maximum label length of 63 characters:

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg94332.html

The examples in Proposal 224 are a mere 53 characters long leaving 10 to play with for padding-hyphens and possibly checksum characters.

Nick: Is this likely to need to change? Or might there be a need to encode > 315 bits / 63 chars total?
