Cathy, please respond with your concurrence or proposed edits. Eliot On 19.09.2024 23:28, Sandy Ginoza wrote: Hi all, We have updated the document as described. However, we have a couple of followup questions. 1) Use of “as well as” makes it sound as though the national standards for China and the ISO/IEC standards are different. We think the intent is to say that this specification uses SM cryptographic algorithms, which are national standards for China and are used in ISO/IEC standards. If this is correct, please consider the following update: Current: It makes use of cryptographic algorithms that are national standards for China, as well as ISO/IEC standards (ISO/ IEC 14888:3-2018 [ISO-IEC14888-3_2018] and ISO/IEC 10118:3-2018 [ISO-IEC10118-3_2018]). Perhaps: It makes use of SM cryptographic algorithms, which are national standards for China and are used in ISO/IEC standards (ISO/IEC 14888:3-2018 [ISO-IEC14888-3_2018] and ISO/IEC 10118:3-2018 [ISO-IEC10118-3_2018]). 2) With the addition of the following text, we have included an informative reference to RFC 6840. Please let us know if it should be normative instead. Many implementations may not support SM2 signatures and SM3 digests. Section 5.2 of [RFC6840] specifies handling of answers in such cases.

RFC 6840 Section 5.2 specifies handling of answers in such cases. The example is pretty clear and it's OK to add it to the document. One small change: Many implementations may not support SM2 signatures and SM3 digests. RFC 6840 Section 5.2 specifies handling of answers in such cases. That's fine. I'm not sure about the location of this part, because I just found RFC 9558 has similar description in section 6 Implementation Considerations, not in section 1 Introduction. Yes, that's right. I would suggest that it's not necessary to create a new section for two sentences, but if you want to, you can. Your call. What is important is that implementers understand what the expected behavior will be from implementations that do not understand SM2/SM3. I'll add these sentences to the introduction section. About the 'caution' paragragh: Most of this statement is OK for us, except one detail. Although ShangMi (SM) cryptographic algorithms haven't been analyzed by the IETF and the IRTF, SM2 and SM3 algorithms have been added to ISO/IEC standards. So is it possible to remove the third sentence, to avoid the misunderstanding that these algorithms are just national standards instead of international standards? Or is it possible to change the second sentence to: It makes use of cryptographic algorithms that are national standards for China, as well as ISO/IEC standards (ISO/IEC 14888:3-2018 and ISO/IEC 10118:3-2018). I'm sorry, but that's not possible. This came about as an interim means to address IETF and IAB concerns about national cryptography. However, it is fine to add a sentence above to refer to the ISO standard. FWIW, your document will probably be the last crypto I publish for a good period of time, while the IETF tries to figure out what the long term approach should be. And the following paragragh, too. Caution: This specification is not a standard and does not have IETF community consensus. It makes use of cryptographic algorithms that are national standards for China, as well as ISO/IEC standards (ISO/IEC 14888:3-2018 and ISO/IEC 10118:3-2018). Neither the IETF nor the IRTF has analyzed that algorithm for suitability for any given application, and it may contain either intended or unintended weaknesses. Eliot
