Hi again,

Well I ended up fixing it myself yesterday through a lot of trial and error and finally understanding the

RFC.  I recommend the following change to make it easier for future implementors in the 2845bis draft:

Section 6.4 says:

The first envelope is processed as a standard answer, and subsequent messages have the following digest components:

I would rewrite that as:

The first envelope is processed as a standard answer (see section 6.2), and subsequent messages have the following digest components:

With the referal to section 6.2, a hasty eye can catch what a "standard answer" is and assumptions are left out.

BTW I'm working with this draft document:

Hi,

I'm in contact with the original RFC 2845 authors for clarifications on what is meant in section 4.4 for the meaning of "Prior MAC (running)".  In the bis draft this is in section 6.4 and seems unchanged.  I'm having a hard time understanding this as an implementor, this is an area that needs clarification I believe.

Would you like to see any results that I glean from the authors so that this can be put on the bis draft?

Best Regards,
