On this page I collect some notes that I have
sent into standards bodies.
None of these notes are actual publications;
see my list of papers
for on-line papers.
Note: I exclude from this page most of the contributions
for which three is a corresponding academic paper.

Comments on NIST's RMAC Proposal
Contribution to NIST, December 2, 2002.
Criticism on NIST's planned recommendation of
RMAC, a "salted MAC" that they hope
defeats birthday attacks.

Some Comments on WHF Mode (now called CCM Mode)
Contribution to the IEEE. March 6, 2002
CCM mode is
to be the mandatory authenticated-encryption method of IEEE 802.11
(wireless LANs).
A more up-to-date analysis will be written when I have the time.

A suggestion for handling arbitrary-length messages
with the CBC MAC
Contribution to NIST.
See the CRYPTO '00 paper
for a full exposition.

Counter-mode encryption
Contribution to NIST, September 2000
Motivate and discusses CTR mode,
which I was hoping that NIST would include in a future modes standards.
Afterwards: the current NIST modes do now include counter mode.

Problems with proposed IP cryptography
Contribution to IETF IPsec, April 3, 1995.
Note: the explanations in Section 4 / Recommendation 4 are now
out-of-date; see the literature on encrypt-then-mac
vs. mac-then-encrypt.
Afterwards: this note generated such an unpleasant
reaction from the IETF community that I have never
contributed to them again!
Generic Cryptographic Service Application Program Interface (GCS API)
Contribution to X/Open and the IEEE. June 1994.
