Description

2017-04-22

Applications to privacy and authentication of long-lived digital assets need to consider post-quantum adversaries.

2017-04-22

Lin k to NIST 140-2 Draft Annex C on approved Random Number Generators.

2017-04-22

Add SP 800-90/A/B/C and SP 800-131A.

2013-10-04

There needs to be some provision for non-NIST developments, including identifiers for them. This won't be here, but needs to be a possible parallel development, perhaps relying on NIST procedures and definitions, but supporting alternatives such as TwoFish, Skein, Ghost, etc. It may take a while to get around to Keccak though.

2013-02-27

I need a folio for the password-hashing API and related testing.

2013-02-27

Look into the provisions for patent disclosures via IP.com and the online service for describing prior art or establishing new work as future prior art. [Maybe move this to another level for the notes]

2013-01-05

Bring over the materials on the Secure Hash Standards and the Random Number Generator standards. These might be b-series or c-series. The verification rules and backgrounds on those are also important.

n130301-cache: Bring over the downloaded documents that support n130301c.

2012-12-30

n130301c: Isolate those parts of the deterministic random bit generator (PRG) procedures and tests that can be used to make a workable general source based on secure hash algorithms, explaining the situation. The seed situation and testing techniques need particular attention. An alternative verification technique is needed to determine that an implementation is correct. [dh:2017-04-22 Need to look at this more closely because of uses in creation of stream ciphers and

2012-12-30

n130301c: Identify the Secure Hash algorithms of interest and their testing. The idea about testing is to be able to process the test vectors correctly and to perform the validation tests using a known working implementation of a hash algorithm to verify an implementation. [dh:2017-04-22 Bring over the 140-2 draft annex on this topic, and get the relevant NIST documents including the SHA-3 work.]

Clean up the n130101-cache/default.htm page to explain the deal with MHTML and also where there is maintenance on this page. (Where does the index point up to, also.)

done

2013-01-28

The cache of .mht files has problems with IE10. IE8 recognizes MHTML, but IE10 apparently does not from the Internet, although it does so locally. Change to specify download from the cache, not direct reference. [dh:2013-01-28-18:05 The solution is to define the MIME type multipart/related. IE8 and earlier will recognize and render it. IE10 (and IE9 likely) will download rather than treat as text. That is good enough - if Opened after download (and the security scan), it will render.]

n130101: IE fails with URLs ending in form directory/#fragment, attempting to fetch the directory as some unknown document type. Use directory/default.htm#fragment, etc., in links to such material.
