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Is the reference to a withdrawn ASN.1 standard going to be changed?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 They have been withdrawn as international standards since last year.
