Thank you for pointing out the mistake. It was correct in the file that we sent out, but somehow got messed up in the final publication. Sorry about that.

Hi,

There is an obvious typo:

"A.3 The algorithm must support
224, 256, 384, and 512-bit message
digests, and must support a maximum
message length of at least 264 bits."

Probably it should be:

"A.3 The algorithm must support
224, 256, 384, and 512-bit message
digests, and must support a maximum
message length of at least 2^64 bits."

(Usual copy paste error from Word ...)

Regards,
Danilo!
