If I don't hear strong opposition I will move them to Operational. Julo Santosh Rao <santoshr@cup.hp.com> Sent by: owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu 16-10-01 20:22 Please respond to Santosh Rao To: IPS Reflector <ips@ece.cmu.edu> cc: Subject: iscsi : HeaderDigest & DataDigest as operational keys ? Julian, Can the keys HeaderDigest & DataDigest be moved to operational keys, instead of their current location in security keys ? This would allow an initiator that is using header & data digests, but no security authentication to complete all of its login key negotiation in 1 phase, namely, the operational phase. It reduces login to a single handshake for initiators that do not perform security authentication. The digest keys are meant for data integrity rather than security and I am wondering why they need to be placed in the security keys (?).
