The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7919, "Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for Transport Layer Security (TLS)".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7579 -------------------------------------- Type: Editorial Reported by: Tim Geiser <slimshady...@inbox.lv> Section: Appendix A Original Text ------------- The primes in these finite field groups are all safe primes; that is, a prime p is a safe prime when q = (p-1)/2 is also prime. Where e is the base of the natural logarithm and square brackets denote the floor operation, the groups that initially populate this registry are derived for a given bit length b by finding the lowest positive integer X that creates a safe prime p where: p = 2^b - 2^{b-64} + {[2^{b-130} e] + X } * 2^64 - 1 Corrected Text -------------- The primes in these finite field groups are all safe primes; that is, a prime p is a safe prime when q = (p-1)/2 is also prime.

It is correct in all five concrete derivations A.1 through A.5 Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported".
