[cc to standards(a)xmpp.org since it is of interest to the xmpp ecosystem]
I've uploaded draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-ht-01. The major changes since the
adoption by the Kitten WG are
- the introduction of a response status byte to indicate success or
failure responses
- the capability to transmit authenticated key/value pairs in the
exchanged messages (e.g., for XEP-0474 [1])
SASL-HT is already deployed using an older and incompatible version of
the I-D in some parts of the XMPP ecosystem. Therefore, we probably need
to adjust the SASL Mechanism Name to avoid interoperability issues. For
example, from
HT-SHA-512-ENDP
to
HT2-SHA-512-ENDP
Please forgive my lack of creativity regarding the new name. Suggestions
on a more creative naming schema that is in-line with the constraints of
SASL Mechanism names are appreciated.
And, of course, feedback in general is welcomed.
