Dear all,

Some of you may remember the presentation at the SAAG meeting at IETF #102 about the new automated cryptographic validation protocol (ACVP). We made significant progress with it and plan to host a side-meeting at IETF#104 to explore the possibility for a BoF at IETF#105. We invite everyone interested to review the recently published drafts below:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-celi-block-ciph/
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-fussell-acvp-spec/
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-vassilev-acvp-iana/ 

We ask those who are interested to look for an announcement about a side meeting on ACVP at IETF #104 and come to join the discussion about how to move forward. Feel free to propose time/day for the side meeting if that may help increase participation.

We are also hosting a hackathon at IETF #104 on how to extend ACVP to handle testing of AES-GCM-SIV and demonstrate the extensibility of the protocol to cover algorithms beyond those already implemented. Check the details at https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/104hackathon and come to see us on Saturday and Sunday. 

Looking forward to seeing and working with you, 

Thanks, 
Apostol
