Type: Technical
Reported by: Matthias König <mkoenig@masktech.de>

Section: 2.3.3

Original Text

RFC2631 states that g is of order q mod p (section 2.1.1).
Also, X9.42 (which is referenced in section 2.3.3 of RFC3279) defines g as
"generator of the q-order cyclic subgroup of GF(p), that is, an element of order q in the multiplicative group of GF(p)" (X9.42:2001, section 4.1)
