NIST SHA draft

1992-02-05 17:25:00
Subject: Proposed NIST SHS
To:  Parties who may be interested in Digital Signatures

From:  Dennis Branstad, NIST Fellow

On January 31, 1992, NIST published in the Federal Register a proposed
Secure Hash Standard (SHS) designed to work with the proposed Digital
Signature Standard (DSS)....
Because of mail limitations, I left off
appendix B which is just a second example and the federal register
solication for comments...

Just wanted to add that there is in fact a third example in an 
appendix C--1 million repetitions of the letter 'a'.  There is a typo 
in the published message digest for this example.  It should read:

    3232affa 48628a26 653b5aaa 44541fd9 0d690603 
                         ^
                         not a '6'
