Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (MQTT-164) 1.2 Normative References DES - withdrawn standard
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/MQTT-164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=36546#action_36546 ] Peter Niblett commented on MQTT-164: ------------------------------------ Already raised in [mqtt-132] > 1.2 Normative References DES - withdrawn standard > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MQTT-164 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/MQTT-164 > Project: OASIS Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: References > Reporter: Patrick Durusau > > Section 1.2 Normative References reads in part: > ***** > Data Encryption Standard (DES). > http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips46-3/fips46-3.pdf > ***** > However, the document referenced now has this cover page: > ***** > The attached publication, > FIPS Publication 46-3 > (reaffirmed October 25, 1999), > was withdrawn on May 19, 2005 and is provided here only > for historical purposes. > ***** > The purpose of a normative reference is to cite additional standards to which a conforming application must conform in order to conform to the citing specification. > In this case the citing of DES implies that conformance to MQTT may require conformance to a withdrawn specification. > Withdrawn specifications are allowable for non-normative references but should not be used as normative references. > Section 5.2 Lightweight cryptography and constrained devices cites DES saying: > ***** > Advanced Encryption Standard [AES] and Data Encryption Standard [DES] are widely adopted. > ***** > I take that to be a non-normative statement, simply an observation and not a requirement for conformance to DES. > I would move DES into the Non-normative reference section since it isn't required for conformance to MQTT. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
