Bob-
I have this draft mostly completed, and can have it under the group's
collective scrutiny by tomorrow (Wednesday) evening. My assertion in
Washington was that the IO-RES draft is incomplete without it, and I
stand by that. (For those who might have missed this -- we use
3DES-CBC-MAC as a REQUIRED prf in IO-RES, and have as a reference only
Schneier's book, which is too vague to be building a protocol from.) I
don't know however, if the political machine has allowed the time for a
new draft to be introduced.
Perhaps we can take a poll on the list as to who thinks this is a
necessary addition?
