The IESG has received a request from the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption WG (jose) to consider the following document: - 'CFRG ECDH and signatures in JOSE' <draft-ietf-jose-cfrg-curves-05.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-08-12. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines how to use the Diffie-Hellman algorithms "X25519" and "X448" as well as the signature algorithms "Ed25519" and "Ed448" from the IRTF CFRG elliptic curves work in JOSE. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jose-cfrg-curves/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jose-cfrg-curves/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: draft-irtf-cfrg-eddsa: Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) (None - Independent Submission Editor stream) Note that some of these references may already be listed in the acceptable Downref Registry.
