I would like to propose the addition of LUC to the PEM
Asymmetric Algorithms as in RFC1423
Note that LUC is now on the ISO algorithm list
LUC is now ISO standard ISO 9979-0003 (July 1994)
Let me clarify something about ISO 9979. This is a standard which puts
in a place a "register of algorithms", i.e., a system for assigning
object identifiers to algorithms. Anyone can have any algorithm
registered. It is not even necessary to provide a technical
description of the algorithm. Registration of an algorithm in no way
endorses its use or implies anything about its quality.
In particular, registering an algorithm does NOT make that algorithm an
ISO standard.
There are, of course, other equally valid ways of registering
algorithms (i.e., assigning object identifiers for them). The OIW does
this, and so do private organizations which have OID arcs (e.g.,
RSADSI, Northern Telecom).
