Re: [Crypto-panel] Request for review: CPace

["Stanislav V. Smyshlyaev" <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

We still need reviewers (three or four) for the CPace draft.

Since CPace was a winner of the PAKE selection process, we have to be 100%
sure that all concerns have been properly addressed.

Bjoern, Russ, Karthik, we will be happy to receive reviews from you (taking
into account your reviews provided during the PAKE Selection process).

Chloe, Julia, Jean-Philippe, Scott, if some of you could review the CPace
draft, despite the fact that you've just reviewed the OPAQUE draft (thanks
a lot once again for this!), that would be amazing as well.

Best regards,
Stanislav (for CFRG chairs)
