Yes, VISA put the ASCII on their site... We only host the ps version.
Thanks! I looked at the Visa site, and it has a usable form of the documents still under construction; I waded through the 73-separate-page HTML version for a while.... There's some good intro material on how you use the stuff and who's responsible for what. Microsoft has the technical specs as one big slightly-HTMLized text file under http://www.windows.microsoft.com/windows/ie/stt.htm ; it's _much_ more readable, and has a pointer to the Visa version. (It's one big <PRE> with a few <B> and hrefs, in black-on-white.) Some cryptographic high points, from a brief scan. - 1024-bit RSA signatures, using PKCS#1 format. - SHA 160-bit hashes - Symmetric bulk crypto includes two options (I haven't yet seen how you choose between them; I assume it's export/domestic?) == RC4/64 with 24 bits of salt leaving 40 bits of real key == DES-CBC - yes, that's single-DES.
