Dear Daniel, there is a draft of the new Russian digital signature standard GOST R 34.10-2012 in English: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dolmatov-gost34102012-00. Also the previous standard (there are only two major differences between standards: distinct hash functions and available key sizes) is included in ISO/IEC 14888-3:2006/Amd.1:2010(en) Information technology — Security techniques — Digital signatures with appendix — Part 3: Discrete logarithm based mechanisms AMENDMENT 1: Elliptic Curve Russian Digital Signature Algorithm, Schnorr Digital Signature Algorithm, Elliptic Curve Schnorr Digital Signature Algorithm, and Elliptic Curve Full Schnorr Digital Signature Algorithm. If there is a need of any comments to these two documents, I will be glad to provide them. Best regards, Stanislav V.
