The IESG has received a request from the CURves, Deprecating and a Little more Encryption WG (curdle) to consider the following document: - 'Use of EdDSA Signatures in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)' <draft-ietf-curdle-cms-eddsa-signatures-06.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-07-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the conventions for using Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) for curve25519 and curve448 in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). For each curve, EdDSA defines the PureEdDSA and HashEdDSA modes. However, the HashEdDSA mode is not used with the CMS. In addition, no context string is used with the CMS. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-curdle-cms-eddsa-signatures/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-curdle-cms-eddsa-signatures/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
