One draft I'm working on references some standard NIST cryptographic
documents. (RFCs don't include everything we need.) I need to check
some details therein. Unfortunately the current US government
shutdown has taken NIST's website, including those documents,
offline. And (not considering this possibility) I didn't download
copies of them.
Any link to where copies of such documents are kept would be useful.
(Of course I haven't been able to check the copyright on them to
know if that's legal, so there may be no appropriate site.)
Otherwise, consider the above an observation.
Same here - I have problems accessing documents at NASA about IP network
mobility.
The error message says:
"Due to the lapse in federal government funding, this website is not
available. We sincerely regret this inconvenience. For information about
available government services, visit USA.gov."
(roland.grc.nasa.gov/ redirects to notice.usa.gov/)
Whereas I could find the document in Google's cache, I am dubious
about this situation.
I would have not imagined that documents in a US gov website would
become unavailable - for political reasons? I would imagine engineering
problems like routing system failures, Internet meltdown...
OK, so I'm not going to take a stand about the politics involved. Trying to
avoid wearing out my delete key, can we agree that the situation is a bummer,
there's nothing we can do about it and we have a way to route around the
damage. Nothing more to contribute here, please move along...
Thanks and this will be my last post in this thread...
