From CKM_DSA (FIPS 186-4), we have 2.2.9 FIPS 186-4 , and Relyea has DSA Key Restrictions , and both sections are referring to the same thing; just the wordings are different. If we withdraw ours, we will also have to make changes to other proposals: CKM_ECDSA (FIPS 186-4) and CKM_RSA_PKCS (FIPS 186-4) since they do have a section called FIPS 186-4 . We will have to rename the section to ECDSA Key Restrictions and RSA Key Restrictions . Any thoughts ? Best, Oscar
