DATE FROM SUBJECT
Two related points:
1. Sorry to waste list bandwidth with such a question, but could
someone please post to me the original "Problem in draft FIPS
`CRYPTOGRAPHIC SERVICE CALLS'" item? (my server was down at the
weekend).
2. NIST have proposed the draft FIPS to a number of standards
development organisations - including X/Open and POSIX - and I
know that Microsoft have reviewed it, so it will likely influence
interfaces to commercially available cryptographic software and
devices.
If there is anybody with interest in crypto APIs on this list,
then your informed comments on this NIST proposal, or other
candidates (which I could make available if the level of interest
warranted it), or alternatives, would be useful and timely.
Thanks
Piers
