In your previous mail you wrote: I'm OK with this text. I tried to come up with a way to briefly discuss how error detection is very related to things like protecting against substitution of content (the internet mirror case) but failed to come up with something brief. So, I'm fine with what you have. => can I conclude you are in the "they are security considerations so don't talk about not-security uses" side? Thanks Francis.Dupont@xxxxxxxxxx PS: to summary the issue, we can do 3 things about new not-security uses: - not discourage them as they don't raise any security problems - discourage them as they can raise operational problems because some crypto regulations banish MD5 by itself - write nothing Note the last option solves the issue only for this document, i.e., each time a document will propose a new use of MD5 the issue will be re-opened. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
