The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6605,
"Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) for DNSSEC".

https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6341

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Mattia Bencivenga <m.bencivenga97@gmail.com>

Section: 1

Original Text
-------------
For example, in a signature that uses RSA with 2048-bit keys and SHA-256, the signing portion is significantly weaker than the hash portion, whereas the two algorithms here are balanced.

Corrected Text
--------------
For example, in a signature that uses RSA with 2048-bit keys and SHA-256, the hash portion is significantly weaker than the signing portion, whereas the two algorithms here are balanced.

Notes
-----
The signing portion should be RSA with 2048 bits so, the overall security is 1024 bits while the hash portion is SHA-256 that has an overall security of 128 bits. Therefore the hash portion is weaker than the signing portion.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party
