DDSSEC11 — BuiltinTopicKey_t Inconsistent with current DDS Spec

Open Closed All
  • Key: DDSSEC11-88
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    As also filed under http://issues.omg.org/browse/DDS15-153, current definition used by DDS-SECURITY for BuiltinTopicKey_t is inconsistent with current DDS specification.

    Changing BuiltinTopicKey_t definition would be risky, as multiple implementations may rely on what has been the standard for a long time.

    Also, at this point we should try to avoid changing the wire representation for DDS-SECURITY.

    As a solution that will not break compatibility, we can define a new GUID_t type that is an array of 16 octets, and use this one in the security specification.

  • Disposition: Resolved — DDS-SECURITY 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Replace use of BuiltinTopicKey_t with GUID_t

    To avoid confusion the DDS-Security specification shall use the GUID_t type as defined by the DDS-RTPS specification, and not the BuiltinTopicKey_t.
