Hi all,
RFC 2440 states:
5.7. Symmetrically Encrypted Data Packet (Tag 9)
The Symmetrically Encrypted Data packet contains data encrypted with
a symmetric-key algorithm. When it has been decrypted, it will
typically contain other packets (often literal data packets or
compressed data packets).
Just to be sure that I understand this properly, does this mean that an
encrypted message can contain a variable length sequence of literal data
packets and/or compressed data packets, e.g, is this sequence possible?
Encrypted data packet = {literal data packet1, compressed data packet1,
literal data packet2}, where the compressed data packet1 can itself hold
a sequence of literal data packets.
Thanks
Hasnain.
