• Alexios Zavras
• Alfred L Strauch
• Agustin Benito Bethencourt
• Bob Martin
• Jean Camp
• Quique Goñi
• Steven Carbno
• Victor Lu

Agenda

• parameters of algorithms
• categorization

Notes

• parameters
  • mode has to be different algorithm
  • key size a parameter to a single algorithm
  • use cases might not need key size
  • Augustin notes that key size might affect export control
    • to be investigated more
  • use key size not strength
• categorization
  • for example: hashing, signing, etc.
  • NIST has classes: hash, symmetric key, asymmetric key
• for next week
  • try to populate the three lists, to see whether segmentation makes sense
  • also add mode
