Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (OFFICE-3297) Part 3 [Blowfish]Reference Out-of-Date, Misleading
Part 3 [Blowfish] Reference Out-of-Date, Misleading --------------------------------------------------- Key: OFFICE-3297 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3297 Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC Issue Type: Bug Components: External References, Packaging, Part 3 (Packages), Security Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05, ODF 1.1, ODF 1.0 (second edition), ODF 1.0 Environment: This applies to all versions of ODF but the description and proposal is specific to ODF 1.2 CD05, with correction proposed for ODF 1.2 CD06. This is part of a series of issues that apply to encryption in Part 3 and should probably be reviewed and discussed as a block. Reporter: Dennis Hamilton Assignee: Dennis Hamilton Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06 The current reference when there is mention of the default Blowfish CFB encryption algorithm is [Blowfish] Bruce Schneier, Applied Cryptography (Second Edition), John Wiley & Sons, ISBN: 0-471-11709-9, 1996. While Blowfish is discussed in the referenced technical publication, that is not all that is there. In addition, the description of CFB (and alternatives) is not specific to Blowfish and is discussed in a different part of the text. Finally, there is an errata for Applied Cryptography (Second Edition) that is relevant to the consideration of various methods (including CFB) in employing an encryption algorithm. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
