Fwd: Broken NSA cryptography link

Members of the MQTT TC, we received this report of a broken link in MQTT V3.1.1. This can be treated as an errata if you wish to address it. I will notify Mr. Manning that you've been notified.Â

Let me know if you have any questions.Â

Hi Carol,

I noticed a broken link on this page - http://docs.oasis-open.org/mqtt/mqtt/v3.1.1/os/mqtt-v3.1.1-os.html

Itâs the NSA link on cryptography (http://www.nsa.gov/ia/programs/suiteb_cryptography/), the information seems to have moved to https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Events/ISPAB-MARCH-2006-MEETING/documents/E_Barker-March2006-ISPAB.pdf

Perhaps whilst you are updating this youâd consider including a link to one of our guides at the same time - https://comparite.ch/encryption-types - it covers encryption algorithms, security protocols and cryptography. It is also more up to date than the NIST resource which although working is from 2006. 

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Kevin

PS. If youâre not interested just let me know and you wonât hear from me again.
