There are reference to old documents, including:
RFC 2279 -> RFC 3629
RFC 1750 -> RFC 4086
Thanks.
There are normative reference to non-standards track RFCs, including:
RFC 1641
I just removed this.
RFC 1951
This is the definition of ZIP/DEFLATE. We have to have it. It is also
the best documentation of ZIP there is. Nonetheless, I moved it to
Informative despite the fact that it is a normative reference,
because idnits complained about it, too.
RFC 1991 (which documents is intended to obsolete?)
RFC 1991 is the RFC that describes PGP 2.6.x. With 2440bis, we have
deprecated those mechanisms. Consequently, they are less well-defined
in 2440bis than they were in 2440. If an implementation wants to be
compatible with PGP 2.6.x, it is more important that this be
referenced. I moved it to informative, too, because idnits complained.
RFC 2144
This is the description of CAST5. Idnits didn't complain about this
one, so I left it.
The following reference are never cited in the text as far as I can
tell. Most of them should likely be removed, but citing
[BLEICHENBACHER] at some appropriate point may be useful.
[RFC1423] Balenson, D., "Privacy Enhancement for Internet
Electronic Mail: Part III: Algorithms, Modes, and
Identifiers", RFC 1423, October 1993.
Moved to Informative. It would be a shame not to honor the
contribution that PEM made to secure email.
[RFC1641] Goldsmith, D. and M. Davis, "Using Unicode with
MIME", RFC 1641, July 1994.
I just removed it.
[BLEICHENBACHER] Bleichenbacher, Daniel, "Generating Elgamal
signatures without knowing the secret key,"
Eurocrypt 96. Note that the version in the
proceedings has an error. A revised version is
available at the time of writing from
<ftp://ftp.inf.ethz.ch/pub/publications/papers/ti
/isc/ElGamal.ps>
I added a reference in the discussion of Elgamal signatures.
[DONNERHACKE] Donnerhacke, L., et. al, "PGP263in - an improved
international version of PGP", ftp://ftp.iks-
jena.de/mitarb/lutz/crypt/software/pgp/
Removed, since we're deprecating 2.6.x.
[MAURER] Ueli Maurer, "Modelling a Public-Key
Infrastructure", Proc. 1996 European Symposium on
Research in Computer Security (ESORICS' 96),
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-
Verlag,
vol. 1146, pp. 325-350, Sep 1996.
I'm leaving this in, because it's a good informative reference
despite there being no specific place for it.
[RFC1983] Malkin, G., "Internet Users' Glossary", FYI
18, RFC
1983, August 1996.
Removed.
Thanks for the comments.
Jon
