A new IRTF research group, CFRG (Crypto Forum Research Group), has begun,
with the appended charter.  Use cfrg-request at irtf.org to subscribe to the
mailing list.  See http//www.irtf.org/cfrg/ for further information.

The Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG) is a general forum for discussing
and
reviewing uses of cryptographic mechanisms, both for network security in
general and for the IETF in particular.

CFRG serves as a bridge between theory and practice, bringing new
cryptographic techniques to the Internet community and promoting an
understanding of the use and applicability of these mechanisms via
Informational RFCs (in the tradition of, e.g., RFCs 1321 (MD5) and 2104
(HMAC)). Our goal is to provide a forum for discussing and analyzing
general
cryptographic aspects of security protocols, and to offer guidance on the
use
of emerging mechanisms and new uses of existing mechanisms. IETF working
groups developing protocols that include cryptographic elements are welcome
to bring questions concerning the protocols to CFRG for advice.
