[MINUTES] CCG Atlantic Weekly 2026-03-03

This CCG Atlantic Weekly meeting on March 3rd, 2026, was unexpectedly cut
short due to the unavailability of the scheduled speaker. Mahmoud
Alkhraishi announced the cancellation of the speaker's session and informed
attendees that next week's meeting would be a quarterly update to review
work items and proposals. Greg Bernstein provided an announcement regarding
his work on formalizing and publishing test vectors for post-quantum
cryptography standards (FIPS 204 and FIPS 205). He also offered to give a
briefing on this work in a couple of months. Attendees were reminded to
sign the contribution agreement and adhere to the code of conduct.

   - *Speaker Cancellation:* The scheduled speaker for the meeting was
   unavailable, leading to the meeting being significantly shortened.
   - *Quarterly Update Next Week:* The following week's meeting will focus
   on a quarterly update, including a review of all work items and proposals.
   - *Post-Quantum Cryptography Test Vectors:* Greg Bernstein is working on
   formalizing and publishing test vectors for post-quantum cryptography
   standards (FIPS 204 and FIPS 205), with initial test code ready. He offered
   to provide a briefing on this work in the future and will post updates to
   the mailing list.

*Action Items:*

   - Work item chairs are to update their slides for next week's quarterly
   update.
   - Greg Bernstein is to update the slides on quantum work for next week's
   quarterly update.
   - Mahmoud Alkhraishi (or other chairs) to ensure any work item chairs
   who did not receive the email are included in the update process.
   - Otto Mora will attempt to update the meeting invitation to reflect the
   cancellation.

Mahmoud Alkhraishi: Hello everyone.

Mahmoud Alkhraishi: Unfortunately, there's a nonzero chance that today's
call will have to be cancelled. We're just waiting on our speaker and we
haven't received any confirmation from him this morning. We've sent a
couple of reminders. Hopefully it's just a communication showing he'll be
here, but we'll keep everybody updated.

Mahmoud Alkhraishi: All right. apologies our speaker won't be available
today. hopefully we'll be able to have something better for you soon. next
week is our quarterly update where we're going to go through all the work
items and we're going to review everyone's proposals. we're going to have
to cut today's meeting short unfortunately. We do have lined up a few
speakers for the upcoming calls in March and again apologies about today's
call. If anybody has any announcements they would really like to make
please feel free to raise your hands and we can talk about them.
00:05:00

Mahmoud Alkhraishi: But we will not be having our speaker. while we're
already here then any please remember of our code of conduct and I believe
make sure that you've signed our contribution agreement and if anyone has
any announcements please feel free to raise your hand and… go through them.
We can go through that

Mahmoud Alkhraishi:

Greg Bernstein: Hi, I wanted to let folks know that we've been doing some
cleanup and…

Greg Bernstein: preparing test vectors on the quantum safe stuff. This work
was started by others a while back but we've been organizing that to get
that more formal and such like that and I'll be publishing test vectors and
we've been updating the document. Ted has been helping out and Dave Longley
and Manu have been keeping an eye on what I've been doing.

Greg Bernstein: But we'll be getting you test code and things like that for
these postquantum FIPS 204 and FIPS 205 and more coming up. So keep your
eyes out and I'll post to the list when I've put some test vectors in
there. But got the code going. So crypto suites are getting formalized now.
other folks did the initial work on it. I'm just helping to clean that up
now. So if people have any questions,…

Greg Bernstein: in a couple months, we could even give a briefing about
what we did to just formalize things a little bit more.

Mahmoud Alkhraishi: Thank you,…

Mahmoud Alkhraishi: That sounds wonderful. on a separate note, any of the
work item chairs people who are leading work items, I've sent out an email
asking you to update the slides for next week. And Greg, if you don't mind,
if you could update the slides on the quantum work that you've been working
on so that we could have a more in-depth chat about it next week.

Greg Bernstein: Okay, no problem.

Mahmoud Alkhraishi: Make sure everybody else is also aware. Thank you. if
you have not received that email and you do have a work item at the CCG,
please feel free to reach out to me or the other chairs and we'll make sure
that we get your updates in. do we have any other announcements? Does
anyone have anything else they'd like to bring up? All right. thank you all
for your time. Have a great rest of your week.

Benjamin Young: Hey, Otto. Is the call cancelled?

Otto Mora: It got cancelled. okay.

Benjamin Young: I No, I don't know. There were just a bunch of people here.
Now they're Yeah,…

Otto Mora: Everybody like thumbs up and then drop off, right? I'm guessing.

Benjamin Young: it says it's confirmed. and it seemed it wasn't happening…

Otto Mora: Me I'll just check with Will here. see what he says because I
think we all kind of came in late.

Benjamin Young: because nobody else was here.

Otto Mora: Got cancelled. Let's see what Will says. Probably. Yeah,…

Benjamin Young: I mean,…

Otto Mora: just.

Benjamin Young:

Benjamin Young: it's still marked as confirmed. So, if it is canceled, it'd
be great if somebody can update the thing.

Otto Mora: Will's responding Here. Yeah.

Benjamin Young: Okay, great.

Otto Mora: Unfortunately, Andrew couldn't make it.

Benjamin Young: Yeah, if you can have Will update the invitation.

Benjamin Young: I would hope folks.

Otto Mora: Yeah, I'm gonna try myself.

Otto Mora: I should be able to.

Benjamin Young: Yeah, I didn't know if you could update CCG stuff.

Otto Mora: Let me see if I have powers. No, I don't. Okay. All right.

Benjamin Young: Yeah, I think it's just the organizers can…

Otto Mora: I'll wait.

Benjamin Young: which are the chairs of the CCG.
00:10:00

Otto Mora: cancel W3. All right. you

Benjamin Young: All right Thanks so much. Sorry, Jenny. Rough to have it
happen more than once,…

Jennie Meier: No, Otto.

Jennie Meier: It's like the Jenny Denin and Otto Club all over again,
except with Benjamin instead. This had happened with the Apac did meetings
for a while.

Benjamin Young: I'm sure.

Benjamin Young: All righty. okay.

Jennie Meier: We had our own little cool club going on. So, welcome.

Benjamin Young: That's awesome. Yeah. Thanks so much.

Otto Mora: Cool.

Benjamin Young: Cool.

Otto Mora: All right.

Jennie Meier: All right. Have a wonderful day.

Otto Mora: Yep. I'll see you on Phillip.

Jennie Meier: You all Thursday.

Benjamin Young: Sound good.

Otto Mora: You on Thursday, Jenny. Phillip calls canceled.

Benjamin Young: Call's canled.

Otto Mora: Yeah. Yeah,…

Phillip Long: is canceled. that's what's going on?

Benjamin Young: Yeah. I

Otto Mora: Ander couldn't make it sadly.

Phillip Long: So that's Thank you for that and we'll see you next week.

Otto Mora: Yep. Cheers. Take care.

Phillip Long: Bye bye.

Otto Mora: All right.
