ACM CCS'99 CFP


               6th ACM Conference on
       Computer and Communications Security

                November 1-4, 1999

             Kent Ridge Digital Labs
                    Singapore 

The ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS)
is a premier forum for the presentation of new research results 
and the identification of future research directions in the area
of computer and communications security. The first five conferences
were held in Fairfax, Virginia (1993 and 1994), New Delhi, India 
(1996), Zurich, Switzerland (1997) and San Francisco, California
(1998). The 6th conference in the series will be held in Singapore
on November 1-4 1999. CCS is sponsored by ACM SIGSAC. 

The preliminary call for paper for ACM CCS'99 is attached. For more   
details, please see the conference web page http://www.isi.edu/ccs99/

SSH2 draft

There are several points in the SSH Transport Layer Protocol
Draft 4, dated 6 August 1998 that I am unclear on.  I was
wondering if someone could shed some light on them...

1. In section 6 it is unclear to me whether
   length fields should be included in the hash
   used to generate the session id during key exchange.

   When describing Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, the draft
   states in item 2 that 'H = hash( V_C || V_S || I_C ||
   I_S || K_S || e || f || K'

   When describing SSH_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY, it states:
   'The hash H is computed as the HASH hash of the
   concatenation of the following:

        string    V_C
        string    V_S
        string    I_C
        string    I_S
        string    K_S
        mpint     e
        mpint     f
        mpint     K

   which seems to indicate that a length field should be included.

   Is this correct?  Should each of the V_C, V_S, ..., K fields
   be inserted into the hash as a uint32 followed by the actual
   data?
