Errata ID: 3641
Status: Verified
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT

Throughout the document, when it says:

Advice on generating cryptographic-quality random numbers can be
   found in RFC1750 [5].

It should say:

Advice on generating cryptographic-quality random numbers can be
   found in RFC4086 [5].

Notes:

(Above sample is from section 4.5).
References to RFC 1750 should currently refer to RFC 4086.
(Likewise in Appendix A.)
The note [5] actually references RFC4086, but this is the only
point that is updated, ie, the document is inconsistent in its references.
The references in Appendix A are not cross-referenced to note [5].

------------------------ Verifier notes ------------------------
This is correct: reference [5] was updated to point to 4086, but the text in the
document body was not changed accordingly.
