Thanks for posting the updated draft. As you know, I have a document that depends on it. I did a quick read, and I have a few comments. All of them are editorial. Section 1, last paragraph: s/public formats/signature and public key formats/ Section 2: please correct the indenting of the middle paragraphs. Section 3.2: s/bytes 20, 21/bytes 20-21/ Russ > On Jun 27, 2017, at 1:45 AM, internet-drafts@ietf.org wrote: > > > A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. > This draft is a work item of the Crypto Forum of the IETF. > > Title : Hash-Based Signatures > Authors : David McGrew > Michael Curcio > Scott Fluhrer > Filename : draft-mcgrew-hash-sigs-07.txt > Pages : 45 > Date : 2017-06-21 > > Abstract: > This note describes a digital signature system based on cryptographic > hash functions, following the seminal work in this area of Lamport, > Diffie, Winternitz, and Merkle, as adapted by Leighton and Micali in > 1995.
