Hi, Our RSA/OAEP algorithm is http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#rsa-oaep-mgf1p with inputs of a digest algorithm and OAEP parameters. By "mgf1p", do we mean MGF1 with SHA-1, or MGF1 with the same hash function used by EME-OAEP-ENCODE (i.e., the DigestMethod parameter)? In RFC 2437, the MGF1 and EME-OAEP-ENCODE hash functions are independently specified, which might imply that we should separate them? Should we move to #rsa-oaep-mgf1-sha1. Also, where does the "p" in "mgf1p" come from? I can't seem to search the archives at the moment to find the original discussions. Apologies if I'm missing something obvious.
