Dear CFRG participants,

On February 4th the IESG will be doing the conflict review for a draft [1] that describes GOST R 34.12-2015: Block Cipher "Kuznyechik". Stephen Farrell is handling this document on behalf of IESG. Stephen asked for feedback from CFRG.

Since national algorithms are typically documented as independent submission stream RFCs, I think this one does not represent a conflict with ongoing IETF work or process. If you disagree, please let Stephen and CFRG chairs know.

Should someone want code points for using this algorithm in IETF protocols, that would of course go through the normal IETF consensus process. See RFC 5742 [2] for details of what this bit of process is about.

If you have comments on the draft content then please send those to the authors and cc the independent submissions editor, Nevil Brownlee ([email-masked]).

Best Regards,
Alexey, on behalf of CFRG chairs.
