Not a problem. The cookie format is private. Neither client box needs to know anything about the contents. One corner case is the initial cookies. There are 2 options. Case 1: NTS-KE server generates the initial cookies. In this case, it would need to know the NTP server's master key and the recipe for making cookies. Case 2: When the NTS-KE server wants new cookies, it asks the NTP server. In this mode, the NTS-KE server doesn't know anything about the structure of cookies or the master key. The downside is extra network traffic. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
