[P1363:] 1363 v2 D1-pre uploaded

Hi List,

I've uploaded the pre-first draft of the revision of 1363
to the website. It can be obtained from:
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1363/P1363-Reaffirm/index.html.

I would greatly appreciate comments on the content (not the 
formatting) of the non-highlighted text in the document. In
particular, I would appreciate being informed of:

* Any new security considerations since 2004 that should be
  included.

* Any concerns about the inclusion of specific techniques.

Note that the yellow highlighted text in the document should
be considered preliminary and need not yet be read closely.

Please send me comments by August 14th for review at our
August 25th teleconference.

This revision contains:

* All the material from Std 1363-2000, with the amendments specified
  in Std 1363a-2004.

* Additional techniques:

  * ESIGN-PSS
  * PSEC-KEM
  * RSA-KEM
  * HMQV

* Additional security considerations and modifications based
  on them:

  * Consideration of the subfield-adjusted MOV condition, based
    on the work of Laura Hitt.

* Additional changes:

  * Fix to the CM algorithm in A.12, as noted by Martin Thiim, Dan 
    Brown, Mike Scott and Marcel Martin.

Outstanding ToDos:

* Fix formatting, especially for bulleted and numbered lists.
* Recreate diagrams using Visio.
* Review all security considerations and update with results since 2004.
* Fix all cross-references to be automatically generated and hyperlinked
* Fix bibliography to be in IEEE style; fix references to bibliography 
  to be automatically generated and hyperlinked
* Fix PAR so title is consistent - Standard for Public Key Cryptography 
  or Standard Specifications for?

  Areas highlighted in yellow in the draft need particular attention.

I am unlikely to make further changes, even editorial, to the draft 
before August 10th, so this is a stable target for comments.

Looking forward to moving this on.

Cheers,

William
