Scalar Cryptography v1.0.0-rc1

NOTE: This release has been superseded by v1.0.0-rc4

This is the public review release of the scalar cryptography extensions to RISC-V. The public review period will be announced on the RISC-V isa-dev mailing list, and run for 45 days from that announcement. Note that the appearance of this release on Github does not indicate the start of the public review period.

To respond to the public review, please either email comments to the public isa-dev mailing list or add issues and/or pull requests (PRs) to the Crypto GitHub repo. We welcome all input and appreciate your time and effort in helping us by reviewing the specification.

During the public review period, corrections, comments, and suggestions, will be gathered for review by the Cryptography task group. Any minor corrections and/or uncontroversial changes will be incorporated into the specification. Any remaining issues or proposed changes will be addressed in the public review summary report. If there are no issues that require incompatible changes to the public review specification, the unprivileged ISA committee will recommend the updated specifications be approved and ratified by the RISC-V Technical Steering Committee and the RISC-V Board of Directors.

We, the RISC-V Cryptography Task Group, would like to sincerely thank everyone taking part in the public review, and who has contributed to our specification so far.
