Abstract

The transition from theory to industry standards presents many challenges, particularly in terms of what features are important and how they are to be specified. Public-key cryptography, now in its third decade, is in the midst of such a transition. With an introduction to the P1363 project Standard Specifications for Public Key Cryptography, this survey highlights some of the transitional challenges, and also describes several areas for further research motivated by the standards efforts.
