<p>An in-band bytestream is bidirectional. Therefore, either party to the bytestream is allowed to send data. Each sender MUST initialize the 'seq' attribute to zero and increment the 'seq' value by one with each chunk of data it sends. Each recipient MUST track chunks based on the 'seq' values it receives. The 'seq' values in each direction are independent of the values in the other direction. Thus there are two data sequences for each SessionID.</p> <p>An in-band bytestream is bidirectional.

<p>An entity MUST verify any Base64 data received. An implementation MUST reject (not ignore) any characters that are not explicitly allowed by the Base64 alphabet; this helps to guard against creation of a covert channel that could be used to "leak" information. An implementation MUST NOT break on invalid input and MUST reject any sequence of Base64 characters containing the pad ('=') character if that character is included as something other than the last character of the data (e.g., "=AAA" or "BBBB=CCC"); this helps to guard against buffer overflow attacks and other attacks on the implementation. Base encoding visually hides otherwise easily recognized information, such as passwords, but does not provide any computational confidentiality. Base64 encoding MUST follow the definition in Section 4 of RFC 4648.</p> <p>An entity MUST verify any Base64 data received.
