Hi Merlin, I interpret "mgf1p" as MGF1 with the hash function specified by the DigestMethod element. Thanks, Takeshi IMAMURA Tokyo Research Laboratory IBM Research imamu@jp.ibm.com From: merlin <merlin@baltimore.ie>@w3.org on 2002/03/01 08:33 Sent by: xml-encryption-request@w3.org To: xml-encryption@w3.org cc: Subject: rsa/oaep 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.
