The requirement record

33 records, one per clause and annex, in seven groups. Each is written in our own words from the public record and the 2009 preview, cited to the clause it belongs to, with the evidence an auditor samples and a test you can run yourself.

The revision frame

The introduction, the scope, the terms and the notation, which set the vocabulary every mechanism page uses.

Code	Record	Status
`Introduction`	Four groups, and why the coupon strategy decides the work	replaced
`Clause 1`	Five families of mechanism, one scope	replaced
`Clause 2`	Thirty-one terms, and the four that carry the work	replaced
`Clause 3`	Notation, symbols and the clause-number trap	replaced

Mechanisms based on identities

The family whose cost is a short modular exponentiation, with a challenge size that has to be chosen.

Code	Record	Status
`Clause 4`	Identity based mechanisms, the FS and GQ1 schemes	replaced
`4.1`	The environment the identity scheme assumes	replaced
`4.2`	Key production: exponents, multiplicity and the accreditation exponent	replaced
`4.3`	The unilateral exchange and its three moves	replaced

Mechanisms based on integer factorization

The family that lets the claimant precompute, and the custody that comes with a shared modulus.

Code	Record	Status
`Clause 5`	Integer factorization, and the cost that falls on the claimant	replaced
`5.1`	The environment the factorization scheme assumes	replaced
`5.2`	Key production with an adaptation parameter	replaced
`5.3`	The unilateral exchange with precomputed work	replaced

Discrete logarithm mechanisms

Prime and composite moduli, the Schnorr and GQ2 schemes, and the mode that decides the key size.

Code	Record	Status
`Clause 6`	Discrete logarithms over a prime modulus	replaced
`6.1`	The environment for a prime order group	replaced
`6.2`	Key production in a prime order group	replaced
`6.3`	The short exchange in a prime order group	replaced

`7.1`	The environment for a composite modulus	replaced
`7.2`	Key production and the two modes	replaced
`7.3`	The exchange with a composite modulus	replaced

Asymmetric encryption systems

The family that carries the only mutual exchange in the part, and the encoding it depends on.

Code	Record	Status
`Clause 8`	Asymmetric encryption systems, and the only mutual exchange	replaced
`8.1`	The environment for an encryption based mechanism	replaced
`8.2`	The unilateral exchange built on encryption	replaced
`8.3`	The mutual exchange and what both parties learn	replaced

Elliptic curve mechanisms

The newest arithmetic in the part, with a verifier coupon in one subclause and none in another.

Code	Record	Status
`Clause 9`	Elliptic curves, added in the third edition	replaced
`9.1`	The environment for an elliptic curve mechanism	replaced
`9.2`	Key production and the verifier coupon	replaced
