--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Annie Yousar <[email-masked]>

Section: 4

Original Text
-------------
   ---------+----------+------------+-----------
   256      | 512      | SHA-512    | secp521r1
   ---------+----------+------------+-----------

Corrected Text
--------------
   ---------+----------+------------+-----------
   256      | 512+     | SHA-512    | secp521r1
   ---------+----------+------------+-----------

Notes
-----
The first table in section 4 (p. 9) provides the right text. The corresponding line in the table on p. 10 is the wrong one. In fact the key size is exactly 521 and not only 512+. Therefore 512+ in both tables could also be replaced by 521.
