Re: Generation of CHAP Secrets...

[VAHUJA@aol.com]

the iSCSI draft talks of up to 128 bits of shared secret. While performing 
HASH, the MD5 will yield 128 bits, but SHA-1 (recommended Hashing algorithm, 
Sec 7.3.1) will generate 160 bits.  Seems to me that the shared secret should 
be allowed to be up to 160 bits..unless we allow MD5 for CHAP and then 
possibly pad the hash? Or am I missing something here?
