The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Using the Elliptic Curve Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for XML Digital Signatures ' <draft-blake-wilson-xmldsig-ecdsa-09.txt> as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Russ Housley. Technical Summary This document specifies the conventions for using the ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) with XML Signatures. The mechanism specified provides integrity, message authentication, and/or signer authentication services for data of any type, whether located within the XML that includes the signature or included by reference. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed by Russ Housley for the IESG. RFC Editor Note Avoid splitting URIs in first declaration of Appendix A on page 13 across lines to avoid causing problems for XML parsers. Also update URIs in Appendix A to follow [Eastlake].
