OASIS PKCS 11 TC

Hi Dieter,

what about proposing this as a PR against the draft-3.3 markdown doc on github ?

Hi Simo,

this will certainly be the better way going forward. But as I am not yet familiar with how to work with PR, I preferred posting it here and have it online for our next meeting tomorrow.

As discussed in our last TC meeting, I will consolidate

1. all hash functions into a single section. Besides SHA-nnn this includes BLAKE2B-160/256/384/512 and GOST R 34.11-94.
2. all functions for derivation of a key by digesting another key into a single section. This includes the key derivation using SHA-nnn, BLAKE2B-nnn and SHAKE-128/256.
3. all HMAC functions into a single section. Besides SHA-nnn-HMAC this includes BLAKE2B-160/256/384/512 HMAC and GOST R 34.11-94 HMAC.

IIRC we discussed consolidation of the key derivation mechanisms (item #2) in the same section as hash functions (item #1). As the hash functions are different though, i.e. GOST in item #1 vs. SHAKE in item #2, I suggest consolidating hash functions and key derivation into a dedicated section each. Any (other) opinion?
