From 1d5ba4f51a302992b9c29a2aca1c8f6bf4f29872 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Jackson Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2023 13:25:39 +0000 Subject: Uwe formal notation for credential and subcredential In particular, give these formal names which contain "hs" (since they are part of the hidden service protocol, and not any other kind of authentication or authorisation scheme), and "N" to indicate that they are hash-generated nonces, not passwords. Change the references in the formulae, which it really seems to me ought to refer to the formal names. --- tor-spec.txt | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'tor-spec.txt') diff --git a/tor-spec.txt b/tor-spec.txt index d967a8e..6654e0e 100644 --- a/tor-spec.txt +++ b/tor-spec.txt @@ -97,6 +97,8 @@ see tor-design.pdf.
