[saag] openpgp at ietf-119

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hiya,

The openpgp wg met on Wednesday and further discussed the pq algorithm
issues previously discussed on the list. There seemed to be agreement
in the session to proceed with implementation and interop testing based
on the "altered proposals" described in the slides. [1] Further changes
are likely, e.g. in KEM combiners and related to transition mechanisms,
where more list discussion will be needed, so we're not yet close to
done, but seem to have made good progress.

The WG will shortly also discuss adoption of some more work items.
Discussion of some of those had been planned for ietf-119 but the pq
discussion used up the available time.

There'll likely be an interim in late-April/May to continue work on
both topics above.

Cheers,
S.
