Subject: Re: Resolution on large-block ciphers (e.g., TWOFISH), PGP7
Yes, I meant Twofish, not Blowfish.
The draft I found at imc.org still says in section 5.5.3:
- [Optional] If secret data is encrypted, eight-octet Initial
Vector (IV).
This should now read "an IV of the same length as the cipher block"?
I suppose so.
And...
3.6.2.1...
These are followed by an 8-octet Initial Vector for the decryption of
the secret values, if they are encrypted, and then the secret key
values themselves.
Do you do the CFB resets on MPI boundaries with V3 keys? (I asked
about this in an earlier post noting all the places where the PGP-CFB
and the reset were done - I'll see if I can easily repost it).
