From: Elaine Barker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Request for Comments on primality testing Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 16:18:59 -0500 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.2.3.4
NIST received many comments when Draft FIPS 186-3 was posted for public comment during the spring of 2006 (see Note above). Several comments concerned the number of tests required for primality testing. In response, NIST surveyed the latest literature available on this topic and is providing alternatives for your consideration (see http://csrc.nist.gov/CryptoToolkit/tkdigsigs.html). Please provide comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by February 23rd, 2007, inserting _Comments on FIPS 186-3 Primality Testing_ in the subject line. NIST is particularly interested in comments relating to the security of the new proposal versus the values currently used in Draft FIPS 186-3.
