 Standards related to OpenSSL
 ============================
 

-[Please, this is currently a draft.  I made a first try at finding
- documents that describe parts of what OpenSSL implements.  There are
- big gaps, and I've most certainly done something wrong.  Please
- correct whatever is...  Also, this note should be removed when this
- file is reaching a somewhat correct state.        -- Richard Levitte]
+This is a work in progress.  These are documents that describe things that
+are implemented (in whole or at least great parts) in OpenSSL.

 
 

+To search for RFCs, you can start at https://www.ietf.org/rfc.html

 
 

-All pointers in here will be either URL's or blobs of text borrowed
-from miscellaneous indexes, like rfc-index.txt (index of RFCs),
-1id-index.txt (index of Internet drafts) and the like.
+To search for internet-drafts, you can start at https://www.ietf.org/id-info/

 
 

-To find the latest possible RFCs, it's recommended to either browse
-ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/ or go to http://www.rfc-editor.org/ and
-use the search mechanism found there.
-To find the latest possible Internet drafts, it's recommended to
-browse ftp://ftp.isi.edu/internet-drafts/.
-To find the latest possible PKCS, it's recommended to browse
-http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/.
+Many PKCS standards are now RFC's; PKCS#11 is now at Oasis and can be
+found at https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=pkcs11
