Internet-Draft HTTP Digest Algorithm Values Registry October 2009 1. Introduction The IANA registry named "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Digest Algorithm Values" defines values for digest algorithms used in HTTP. The registry was created by [RFC3230] in 2002. This draft adds new values to the registry and updates previous values. [[ Discussion of this draft should take place on IETF HTTP WG mailing list at ietf-http-wg@w3.org or directly to the author. ]] 1.1. Examples Examples of Instance Digest for SHA-256: Digest: SHA-256=MWVkMWQxYTRiMzk5MDQ0MzI3NGU5NDEyZTk5OWY1ZGFmNzgyZTJlO DYzYjRjYzFhOTlmNTQwYzI2M2QwM2U2MQ== 2. IANA Considerations This document makes use of the IANA registry named "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Digest Algorithm Values" specified in [RFC3230]. 2.1. Previous Registrations Updated Accordingly, IANA has updated the following registrations: Digest Algorithm: MD5 Description: The MD5 algorithm, as specified in [RFC1321]. The output of this algorithm is encoded using the base64 encoding [RFC4648]. Reference: [RFC1321] [RFC4648] Digest Algorithm: SHA Description: The SHA-1 algorithm [FIPS-180-3]. The output of this algorithm is encoded using the base64 encoding [RFC4648]. Reference: [FIPS-180-3] [RFC4648] 2.2. New Registrations Accordingly, IANA has made the following registrations: Digest Algorithm: SHA-224 Description: The SHA-224 algorithm [FIPS-180-3]. The output of this algorithm is encoded using the base64 encoding [RFC4648]. Bryan Expires April 10, 2010 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft HTTP Digest Algorithm Values Registry October 2009 Reference: [FIPS-180-3] [RFC4648] Digest Algorithm: SHA-256 Description: The SHA-256 algorithm [FIPS-180-3]. The output of this algorithm is encoded using the base64 encoding [RFC4648]. Reference: [FIPS-180-3] [RFC4648] Digest Algorithm: SHA-384 Description: The SHA-384 algorithm [FIPS-180-3]. The output of this algorithm is encoded using the base64 encoding [RFC4648]. Reference: [FIPS-180-3] [RFC4648] Digest Algorithm: SHA-512 Description: The SHA-512 algorithm [FIPS-180-3]. The output of this algorithm is encoded using the base64 encoding [RFC4648]. Reference: [FIPS-180-3] [RFC4648] 3. Security Considerations Same as [RFC3230]. 4.
