The following errata report has been rejected for RFC7748,
"Elliptic Curves for Security".

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Juan Alcasabas <juan.alcasabas@gmail.com>
Date Reported: 2018-12-07
Rejected by: Stanislav Smyshlyaev (IRSG)

Section: 5.2

Original Text
-------------
   Input u-coordinate:
     e5210f12786811d3f4b7959d0538ae2c31dbe7106fc03c3efc4cd549c715a493

Corrected Text
--------------
   Input u-coordinate:
     e5210f12786811d3f4b7959d0538ae2c31dbe7106fc03c3efc4cd549c715a413

Notes
-----
In the X25519 2nd test vector the last byte of input u-coordinate should be 13 instead of 93. This will fix inconsistency between u-coordinate, its base10 representation and the output u-coordinate.
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
A change of one bit of the input u-coordinate in the hexadecimal representation is proposed (to make it "consistent" with the base 10 representation). However, implementations of x25519 should "mask" that bit after taking a u-coordinate as an input - therefore, the existing text of RFC does not have any errors there.
