The following errata report has been submitted for RFC9580, "OpenPGP". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8466 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Heiko Schaefer <[email protected]> Section: 11.2 Original Text ------------- A point on an elliptic curve will always be represented on the wire as an MPI. Corrected Text -------------- TBD Notes ----- This langauge doesn't acknowledge the native encoding of the new Ed/X 25519/448 variants. Various language in the following sections of chapter 11 also seem to imply that all EC data is encoded in MPI format. In particular, in 11.3, all three entries in the table "OpenPGP Elliptic Curve Scalar Encodings Registry" seem to imply variants of MPI encoding. The case of "native" fixed length encoding seems to be missing. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". (If it is spam, it will be removed shortly by the RFC Production Center.) Please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party will log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC9580 (draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-13) -------------------------------------- Title : OpenPGP Publication Date : July 2024 Author(s) : P.
