D3 version of the draft.

["Serge Plotkin" <plotkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lots of changes suggested by Robert Elliott, Colin Sinclair, and other members of the committee.

(Special thanks for Robert that did a very careful proofreading).

 

When proposing changes to the standard, please make sure that what is proposed is “FIPS-certifiable”.

Many of the suggestions that I saw on the mailing list are not (e.g. non-standard key-derivation, non-standard MAC, etc).

 

I did include wording to the effect that this is “data at rest” only, and not for “data in flight”.

I did not include any Cipher-stealing mode at this moment.

 

Happy holidays !
