iSCSI: Security (SRP)

["Lee Xing" <lxing@Crossroads.com>]

Hi,

I got a question on iSCSI security-SRP, and would appreciate it if someone could help.

Based on iSCSI v.09, several key=value pairs are used to exchange SRP parameters and keys.  Such as:

SRP_N=<N>
SRP_g=<g>
SRP_s=<s>
SRP_A=<A>
SRP_B=<B>
SRP_M=<M>
SRP_HM=<HM>

The question is what types of data formats should be used for each key=value pair?  Should decimal, hex, base64 or something else be used?  It seems iSCSI v.09 or RTF2945 don't specify it.

Thanks.
