August 1999 IEEE P1363 Working Group Meeting Summmary

We outlined a plan for a P1363a document to fill some
gaps in P1363, e.g. encryption schemes for DL and EC and
some signature schemes. New projects may be begun
for related topics such as key generation, domain parameters,
ID schemes, hybrid schemes, protocols, etc., and designated
P1363.1, P1363.2, etc. Some proposals for technologies to be
considered in the new projects were presented. We had very
little discussion of the current P1363 draft because it was
at the time being balloted, except that we considered
alternatives regarding IFSSR. A new attack had been announced
earlier in the week on IFSSR; the group decided to
review ballot comments before making any decisions regarding
IFSSR.

The working group bylaws had been adopted by electronic
vote prior to the meeting.
