Section 6.2 says:
The integer x shall be converted to an octet string S of length k as follows. The string S shall satisfy k y = SUM 2^(8(k-i)) Si . i = 1
It should say:
The integer y shall be converted to an octet string S of length k as follows. The string S shall satisfy k y = SUM 2^(8(k-i)) Si . i = 1 Note that the conversion fails if y >= 2^(8*k).
Notes:
Typo corrected. The integer y can not be converted, if the octet string is to short.
