Re (security fix): A Basic Rabin-Williams Digital Signature Specification

[Thierry Moreau]

Dear all:


A revised document has been posted at 
http://www.connotech.com/doc_rw_sign_basic-02.html, including a fix for 
an elementary security issue (and two other items, see document revision 
history).

I received some, but not much, feedback (positive) on the first version.

Regards,

- Thierry
