(FIPS) 180, Secure Hash Standard

Correction

    In notice document 94-16666 beginning on page 35317 in the issue of 
Monday, July 11, 1994, make the following corrections:
    1. On page 35318, in the third column, the last line of the 
paragraph should read ``MIT when designing the MD4 message digest 
algorithm1, and is closely modeled after that algorithm.''
    2. On page 35319, in the first column, the following text was 
omitted:
    Approving Authority: Secretary of Commerce.
    Maintenance Agency: U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute 
of Standards and Technology, Computer Systems Laboratory.
    Applicability: This standard is applicable to all Federal 
departments and agencies for the protection of unclassified information 
that is not subject to section 2315 of Title 10, United States Code, or 
section 3502(2) of Title 44, United States Code. This standard is 
required for use with the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) as 
specified in the Digital Signature Standard (DSS) and whenever a secure 
hash algorithm is required for Federal applications. Private and 
commercial organizations are encouraged to adopt and use this standard.
