Technical Summary
This document defines object identifier values for using DSA and
ECDSA with four SHA2-series hash functions, and use of these hash
algorithms by themselves. This enables specification of these
algorithms in X.509 certificates, consistent with RFC 5280, and use
of these algorithms and hash functions for certificate and CRL
signatures. It updates RFC 3279, sections 2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.2.3.
Document Quality
The document is very brief and clearly written. It was delayed for
a long time waiting for publication of a NIST document, which is a
normative reference, and to coordinate with the relevant ANSI
committee members.
Personnel
The document shepherd is Stephen Kent, and the responsible
area director is Pasi Eronen.
RFC Editor Note
Please add "Updates: RFC 3279" to the page header.
In Section 6.1, the author for [SEC1] should be "Standards for
Efficient Cryptography Group (SECG)"
