Greetings.

Has anyone else tried to communicate with TSIG using HMAC-SHA224 between BIND and other DNS implementations?

I'm using Perl's Net::DNS and BIND 9.6.1p2 and I'm able to sign messages with TSIG using HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, and HMAC-SHA512 successfully. But HMAC-SHA224 generates a BADSIG response from BIND. In addition, a NOTIFY generated by BIND with an HMAC-SHA224 TSIG doesn't validate in my implementation, though all other digests work.

I've tested the HMAC-SHA224 implementation in lib/isc/hmacsha.c using all the test vectors in RFC 4231, and done the same with the Perl implementation (in Digest::SHA), and all test vectors produce correct digests.

So if there's a problem I'm thinking it might be in the linkage between BIND and the digest implementation. It could also be that if there is a bug there, BIND instances would have no trouble talking to one another because they're doing the same thing wrong. I've perused the code a bit and I don't see anything obviously wrong. But I'm curious if anyone else has ever tried to use that particular digest to sign TSIGs between BIND and some other DNS implementation.

I'm using Net::DNS-0.66 (which I'm extending to handle the SHA algorithms from RFC 4635), and Digest-SHA-5.47. The BIND I'm using (9.6.1p2) is what is current in Fedora 12 (9.6.1-13.P2).
