The IESG has approved the following document: - 'ECP Groups For IKE and IKEv2 ' <draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-ecp-groups-02.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. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-ecp-groups-02.txt Technical Summary This document describes three new elliptic curve groups for use in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocols in addition to previously defined groups. Specifically, the new elliptic curve groups are based on modular arithmetic rather than binary arithmetic. These new elliptic groups are defined to align IKE and IKEv2 with other elliptic cure cryptography (ECC) implementations and standards, particularly NIST standards. In addition, the curves defined here can provide more efficient implementation than previously defined ECC groups. Working Group Summary This document is an individual submission, although it was very briefly discussed on the IPsec mail list. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed by Russ Housley for the IESG. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
