Re: New proposed solution to the QC biometric issue

[Stephen Farrell <stephen.farrell@xxxxxx>]

Stefan,

Haven't followed this but a couple of thoughts occur:

- if you're only storing a hash, how do I find the 
original - maybe a URI is needed in addition

- if you buy into the above, couldn't the URI replace
the OID (since e.g. a HTTP response has a MIME type
which identififes at least the syntax and also 
identifies the transfer encoding of the actual data)

- you'll need an algo id somewhere or you can't recalc. the
hash

- you'll need to specify how the actual data is to be
flattened before hash calculation (e.g. strip CR/LF or
whatever), this could be incorporated with the
algo id (so use a transform id)

Regards,
Stephen.
