DDSSEC11 — Table 51 CryptoToken should specify endianness of binary properties

Open Closed All
  • Key: DDSSEC11-42
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Table 51 indicates that the key_material binary property should have as value the CDR serialized representation of a structure but it does not define an Endianness for the serialization. It should.

    Also in 8.3.2.9.4 , 8.3.2.9.5, and 8.3.2.9.6 it talks about message_data being the "cdr serialization" where it is not needed to say anything about serialization.

    Proposal: Use BIg Endian to be consistent with similar decisions on the DDS-Security spec

    Changes in Specification to Use Big Endian Serialization For Crypto Tokens and To Remove Unnecessary Serialization Details for message_data

    Specify changes to specification according to DDSSEC11-42
