RE: WG Last Call: Additional Algorithms for RSA cryptography



Are the ASN.1 values going to be reformatted (to include field names)?
Is the reference to a withdrawn ASN.1 standard going to be changed?

Subject: WG Last Call: Additional Algorithms for RSA cryptography

This message initiates working group Last Call for "Additional Algorithms and 
Identifiers for RSA Cryptography". As a reminder, here is the Abstract:

   This document supplements RFC 3279.  It describes the conventions 
   for using the RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm, the RSAES-OAEP key 
   transport algorithm and additional one-way hash functions with the 
   PKCS #1 version 1.5 signature algorithm in the Internet X.509 Public 
   Key Infrastructure (PKI).  Encoding formats, algorithm identifiers, 
   and parameter formats are specified. 

This is a three week Last Call.  That means it will close sometime on or after 
January 9, 2004.   The schedule has been padded with an additional week in 
light of the holidays. 

** Do not count on any further extension to Last Call!!! **

I intend to close Last Call promptly on January 9, since an S/MIME WG document 
is blocked on this document.

> The changes you are claming as non-compliant are not required for the 1988 version.

But they're not disallowed either. Why use a notation from 1988 which is deprecated by later editions of ASN.1 when there is alternative notation that is valid in 1988 and all later editions of ASN.1. ?

X.208 and X.209 are no longer merely deprecated. They have been withdrawn as international standards since last year.
