* Daniel Kahn Gillmor:
The OpenPGP standard is in a bit of a mess when it comes to wire
formats for public key algorithms.
There are not infrequent reports of interoperability problems (most
recently https://dev.gnupg.org/T5464), and difficulties for
implementers in understanding what is expected.
I think this issue also affects RSA data because the way OpenPGP
specifies the operations, they are octet strings of a specific length,
not integers, and may including leading zero bytes.
This is an unsettling message, but I'm not sure I understand what you
mean. Can you provide a specific example?
Do you think the text of the draft needs to be updated to clarify RSA as
well?
