Two-Lane Publication Model for Cryptographic Mechanisms

This document describes a repeatable publication model for cryptographic work in the IETF. It separates cryptographic mechanism specifications requiring deep security justification from protocol- oriented specifications defining interoperability, wire formats, and registries. It describes a dedicated working group model for coordinating Standards Track deployment of CFRG mechanisms and recommends use of the CFRG Crypto Review Panel to help working groups strengthen their Security Considerations text.
