Hi, all.

 

This question is perhaps best answered by Steve Henson, but I'll address
it to this list.

 

I've found that using openssl-SNAP-20110526, we send a Client Hello with
a signature_algorithms extension that apparently contains duplicate
entries.

 

If I understand RFC 5246 correctly, then this field contains pairs of
one-byte values, { hash, signature }.  If that's correct, then there are
17 pairs:

 

00:20

06:01

06:02

06:02

05:01

05:02

05:02

04:01

04:02

04:02

03:01

03:02

03:02

02:01

02:02

02:02

01:01

 

As you see, there are a number of duplicate entries.  Is this
potentially a problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul
