Does the 14888-3 amendment apply to my organisation?
Only if a contract, a scheme, a regulator or your own policy points at the standard. The amendment binds nobody by itself. It applies in practice when you sign or verify with a discrete logarithm mechanism and something you are held to names the standard or the mechanism set.
Is it law?
No. It is an international standard, and it becomes binding only through a reference in a contract, a scheme, a regulation or a policy.
Who usually finds it applies?
Banks, payment scheme participants, identity providers, government suppliers and device makers whose contracts or schemes name the standard.
