Re: [lamps] [EXTERNAL] Re: Proposed re-charter text for hybrid and dual crypto modes

[Mike Ounsworth <[e-mail]>]

From discussion at the interim meeting, perhaps "... will update documents produced by the PKIX and S/MIME WG.." maybe is not broad enough and maybe needs to allow for new documents? The idea here is to make sure existing standards have sufficient hybrid and dual support, not to go inventing totally new protocols. 

... that said, I wonder whether draft-ounsworth-pq-composite-sigs actually falls inside this wording or not; as a standalone definition of a new signature algorithm, it's not technically updating any existing documents...

I think if we are going to do this then I think these are the words I’d use.

Get ready to explain the quoted text to the IESG :)

NIST has called for transition mechanisms that "layer" traditional and PQ crypto together, referred to as "hybrid key establishment" and "dual signatures". The LAMPS working group will update documents produced by the PKIX and S/MIME WG to support hybrid key establishment, encryption, and dual signature mechanisms.
