* inclusion of the CFRG elliptic curves
Does that mean we can finish the goal only if we include these curves
(as MUST algorithms)?
I don't think this says anything about MUST algorithms (that'd be part
of the MTI update decisions, which the charter doesn't make any
statement about). I personally think that a 4880bis without at least
one of the CFRG curves in it would be a bit of a shame, but that's with
no hats on.
If the group disagrees with that (if we're generally ok with the value
of a 4880bis without any updated curves) then we should loosen the
language in the charter so that it's not a requirement for 4880bis.
Do we want to do a rough straw poll on this?
Do you think that a 4880bis should include some specification for how to
use at least one of the new CFRG curves?
Personally, I think the draft should specify one curve, chosen from
what's out there, and it should be the best judgement we can come up
with about the future of curves. For that, I'd be prepared to wait a
year or so if the CFRG gives us that confidence.
Then, ditch the rest... But you all know how I think by now...
