> So, implemented in the naive way in which the > entire "binary buffer" is first converted to characters I'd be surprised if any crypto vendors (still in business :) require the entire datastream to be available all at once. From the beginning, the digest mechanisms were able to work in "chunks." It might be worth mentioning this as an aside, but such poor code already has issues with keeping an entire copy of the c14n'd document in-core now. Since we all expect the binary data to be much bigger, however, it's probably worth making that explicit. /r$ -- Rich Salz, Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology http://www.datapower.com XS40 XML Security Gateway http://www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html XML Security Overview http://www.datapower.com/xmldev/xmlsecurity.html
