Public-key Cryptography: Theory and Practice

6.2. IEEE Standards

In this section, we outline the first three of the drafts from IEEE, shown in Table 6.1. At the time of writing this book, these are the latest versions of the drafts available from IEEE. In future, these may be superseded by newer documents. We urge the reader to visit the web-site http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1363/ for more up-to-date information. Also see the standard IEEE 1363–2000: Standards Specifications for Public-key Cryptography [134].
