FYI, I updated the RADIUS attribute design guidelines draft based on the discussion at IETF-65 [1]. See the 02->03 diff [2] for details. The three main issues raised were: -We do not want to preclude future mechanisms for per-attribute encryption (which may result from the current 'crypto-agility' work item). We also want to point at the concerns around the current MD5-based mechanism. -We want to enable SDOs to work independently (from the IETF) by using these guidelines -Structured data fall into different categories based on which entities consume (or parse) them. Some of these categories are essentially opaque to RADIUS entities, and it's fine for these items to be over- loaded into existing types (like String). I tried to address these issues in the current (-03) draft. This topic will be discussed again at the upcoming IETF, so please have a read, file issues, and come with opinions (or voice them on this list).
