The following errata report has been rejected for RFC9497, "Oblivious Pseudorandom Functions (OPRFs) Using Prime-Order Groups". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8575 -------------------------------------- Status: Rejected Type: Technical Reported by: Charles Edward Gagnon <charlesedgagnon@gmail.com> Date Reported: 2025-09-12 Rejected by: Nick Sullivan (IRSG) Section: Appendix A Original Text ------------- "EvaluatedElement": The evaluated element output by BlindEvaluate(), a serialized Element of Ne bytes long. Corrected Text -------------- "EvaluationElement": The evaluated element output by BlindEvaluate(), a serialized Element of Ne bytes long. Notes ----- To match the identifier used in all subsequent test vectors. There is still a slight inconsistency, as "EvaluatedElement" is used throughout the RFC and "EvaluationElement" is used uniquely in "Appendix A. Test Vectors". --VERIFIER NOTES-- Rejected. The proposed fix changes the header definition to match the test vector data, but the data itself is inconsistent with the RFC body, which uses "evaluatedElement" throughout the protocol specification. The correct fix is to change the test vector field names from "EvaluationElement" to "EvaluatedElement" to align with the protocol specification. A new erratum will be filed with the correct fix. -------------------------------------- RFC9497 (draft-irtf-cfrg-voprf-21) -------------------------------------- Title : Oblivious Pseudorandom Functions (OPRFs) Using Prime-Order Groups Publication Date : December 2023 Author(s) : A.
