IEEE P1363 Study Group for Future Public-key Cryptography Standards

Meeting Summary (Unapproved)

Thursday, March 8, 2001
MITRE, Bedford, MA

* The study group will expire at the end of March 2001.

* With the exception of producing and voting on a PAR for a registry 
of public-key cryptography techniques, there are no further items 
planned for the study group.

* David Stern offered to serve as editor of the registry process document. 

* Singer will continue to communicate with the IEEE and the MSC 
to determine the logistics of the registry project.  If the project 
can be formalized, the group will vote to start a new project on 
the registry.

* If possible, an e-vote will be conducted before the next meeting to 
approve the PAR for the registry.

* Agreed that the desired set of documents will mirror the ITS Data Registry 
(std 1489-1999).
