[Technical Errata Reported] RFC2631 (2506)


The following errata report has been submitted for RFC2631,
"Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Method".

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Yves Legrandgerard <ylg <at> pps.jussieu.fr>

Section: 2.2.1.1

Original Text
-------------
6. For i = 0 to m' - 1

        U = U + (SHA1[SEED + i] XOR SHA1[(SEED + m' + i)) * 2^(160 * i)

   Note that for m=160, this reduces to the algorithm of [FIPS-186]

        U = SHA1[SEED] XOR SHA1[(SEED+1) mod 2^160 ].

Corrected Text
--------------
6. For i = 0 to m' - 1

        U = U + (SHA1[SEED + i] XOR SHA1[(SEED + m' + i) mod 2^(160 * (i + 1))])

Fwd: New Non-WG Mailing List: ietf-privacy -- Internet Privacy Discussion List

Of possible interest to some members of this WG:

>A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.
>
>List address: ietf-privacy <at> ietf.org
>Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-privacy/
>To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-privacy
>
>Description: This mailing list has been set up to discuss issues related
>to privacy that cut across multiple groups and areas.  The initial goal of
>this discussion is to investigate privacy and related identity management
>terminology. A secondary goal is to explore the opportunity to develop
>"Privacy Consideration" guidelines similar to the "Guidelines for Writing
>RFC Text on Security considerations" [RFC3552] used in the security area.
>The anticipation is that input into this list will come from solicited
>conversation within multiple other lists.
>
>For additional information, please contact the list administrators.

[Technical Errata Reported] RFC5990 (2529)


The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5990,
"Use of the RSA-KEM Key Transport Algorithm in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5990&eid=2529

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <ah <at> TR-Sys.de>

Section: 4, pg.9

Original Text
-------------
   Within the CMS, algorithms are identified by object identifiers
|  (OIDs).  With one exception, all of the OIDs used in this document
   were assigned in other IETF documents, in ISO/IEC standards
   documents, by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
   (NIST), and in Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) documents.
   The two exceptions are the ASN.1 module's identifier (see Appendix
|  B.3) and id-rsa-kem that are both assigned in this document.  The
|  module object identifiers are defined in an arc delegated by the
   former company RSA Data Security Inc. to the S/MIME Working Group.
   When the S/MIME Working Group closes, this arc and its registration
   procedures will be transferred to IANA.
