The following errata report has been submitted for RFC9580, "OpenPGP". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8814 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Daphne Shaw <[email protected]> Section: 5.6 Original Text ------------- A ZLIB-compressed series of packets is compressed with raw ZLIB-style blocks [RFC1950]. Corrected Text -------------- A ZLIB-compressed series of packets is compressed using the ZLIB compressed data format [RFC1950]. or A ZLIB-compressed series of packets is compressed with ZLIB-style blocks [RFC1950]. (Or other words to that effect — the intent is to remove the word "raw"). Notes ----- In OpenPGP, only ZIP compression uses raw blocks. The ZLIB and BZip2 algorithms both have headers present. A ZLIB stream without headers would be noncompliant to RFC-1950, section 2.3 ("A compliant compressor must produce streams with correct CMF, FLG and ADLER32..."). The "raw" was not present in RFC-4880. I believe it came in via https://gitlab.com/openpgp-wg/rfc4880bis/-/commit/c326b8d4b946b2d51eb9885677e0521fb0ecf1a9 Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". (If it is spam, it will be removed shortly by the RFC Production Center.) Please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party will log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC9580 (draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-13) -------------------------------------- Title : OpenPGP Publication Date : July 2024 Author(s) : P.
