Re: [webrtc-pc] Issue 1: Key shortening

Maybe that was the intent, but the statement "only the 160-bit key is used by HMAC-SHA-1" is just wrong, and (in my opinion) misleading. This misconception seems to also exist in Appendix B, which talks about shortening a 256-bit key to 160-bits, which is unnecessary since the block size of SHA1 is 512 bits.
