  • Jonathan asked Tony's opinion: Tony indicated that as this was a clarification, rather than a change of direction, it should qualify as a non-material change but that the decision must be made by the TC.

New business

ECDH_AES_Key_WRAP update

  • Daniel spoke to his recent upload describing an update to ECDH_AES_Key_WRAP including using co-factor.

  • Daniel M suggested the change be included in v3.1 to mitigate the deprecation noted in recent updates
  • Need to be careful in naming EC keys to differentiate traditional from Edwards/Montgomery keys.
