OK -- lets put this argument on hold for a while and look at the original proprosal again. 1. If we put the statment in the draft that the only HashAlgorithm parameter that can be specified with DSA is SHA-1 we can make a future modification to the following statement. When DSA is specified, if |q| == 160, the HashAlgorithm MUST be specfied as SHA-1. If |q| == 320, the HashAlgorithm MUST be specfied as AES-HASH. This allows for future flexability if needed and specfies both DSA and SHA1 must be used today. 2. With regards to the RSA parameters, it would appear that the ONLY thing you are arguing againist is really the new padding algorithm that I suggested not the parameterization. I am sure that you would allow the P1363 padding algorithm. (I have not verified it includes the hash name, but I assume it does.) The fact that I am factorizing out the presentation should not be an issue with you. Is this correct? jim
