The Crypto Forum IRTF research group met on Wednesday afternoon for 2.5 hours. It was very well attended (we need a bigger room next time :-)).

There were several short presentations on PAKE requirements, Extended Hash-Based Signatures and Post-quantum cryptography. But most of the time was spent on presentations and discussions of 5 proposals on EC signatures. Despite 3 presenters being remote, the session went well and discussions about requirements on signature scheme design were productive.
