The IESG has completed a review of draft-atkins-suit-cose-walnutdsa-07 consistent with RFC5742.
The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'Use of the Walnut Digital Signature Algorithm with CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE)' <draft-atkins-suit-cose-walnutdsa-07.txt> as an Informational RFC. The IESG has concluded that this work is related to IETF work done in WG COSE, but this relationship does not prevent publishing. Additionally, the IESG requests the following note be added to the document if it is published: This document proposes a cryptographic signature algorithm that is claimed to be "post-quantum secure". The IETF takes no position on these claims. Development of such algorithms is an active topic of great interest to the Internet community, but the IETF has chosen to defer selection and publication of "post-quantum secure" algorithms until after the conclusion of the NIST "Post-Quantum Cryptography" Project (https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography). The NIST-sponsored endeavor (whose participants include cryptographic experts from around the world) provides substantially more cryptographic expertise than is available solely within the IETF, and the IESG believes it is in the best interest of the Internet community to take advantage of the in-depth cryptographic reviews performed during the NIST project before selecting "post-quantum secure" algorithms for standardization. The IESG would also like the Independent Submissions Editor to review the comments in the datatracker related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the history log. The IESG review is documented at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/conflict-review-atkins-suit-cose-walnutdsa/ A URL of the reviewed Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-atkins-suit-cose-walnutdsa/ The process for such documents is described at https://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html Thank you, The IESG Secretary _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
