Subject: RE: [saml-dev] AssertionArtifact: Construction question (byte ord er,spaces)
0, 1, 100, 101, 102, ..., 119, 200, 201, 202, ..., 219 (42 bytes) is the correct byte-order representation of the data, which is then encoded as a Base64 string. Rob Philpott RSA Security Inc. The Most Trusted Name in e-Security Tel: 781-515-7115 Mobile: 617-510-0893 Fax: 781-515-7020 mailto:rphilpott@rsasecurity.com -----Original Message----- From: Kremp, Juergen [mailto:juergen.kremp@sap.com] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 11:37 AM To: 'saml-dev@lists.oasis-open.org' Subject: [saml-dev] AssertionArtifact: Construction question (byte order, spaces) Dear Experts, the SAML Bindings speficication describes the Assertion Artifact creation like this: SAML_artifact := B64(TypeCode RemainingArtifact) TypeCode := Byte1Byte2 with detailled data: TypeCode := 0x0001 RemainingArtifact := SourceID AssertionHandle SourceID := 20-bytes AssertionHandle := 20-bytes My question has two parts: (1) What is the considered byte order of the "TypeCode" for the first form of the artifact (0x0001)? (2) Has the <space> character in the definitions of "SAML_artifact" and "RemainingArtifact" a literal meaning or separates it just the words. Example: Let the SourceID by the 20-byte sequence (100, 101, 102, ..., 119) and the AssertionHandle by the 20-byte sequence (200, 201, 202, ..., 219). Will the correct artifact then be the Base64-representation of 0, 1, 100, 101, 102, ..., 119, 200, 201, 202, ..., 219 (42 bytes) or of 1, 0, 100, 101, 102, ..., 119, 200, 201, 202, ..., 219 (42 bytes) or of 0, 1, 32, 100, 101, 102, ..., 119, 32, 200, 201, 202, ..., 219 (44 bytes) or of 1, 0, 32, 100, 101, 102, ..., 119, 32, 200, 201, 202, ..., 219 (44 bytes) The specification is not that clear about that point, especially an example is missing.
