On page 58 of RFC 4871, there is an informative reference to [BONEH03], "Proc. 12th USENIX Security Symposium, "Remote Timing Attacks are Practical", 2003. I'm wondering: What does BONE mean?
I know RFC means "Request For Comments", FIPS means "Federal Information Processing Standards Publication", and ITU means "International Telecommunication Union". So, I'm guessing BONE has a meaning along the same lines, but I have not been able to figure it out after several internet searches.
BONEH refers to Dan Boneh, one of the authors of the "Remote timing attacks are practical" paper that RFC 4871 makes reference to.
