A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 4753 Title: ECP Groups For IKE and IKEv2 Author: D. Fu, J. Solinas Status: Informational Date: January 2007 Mailbox: defu@orion.ncsc.mil, jasolin@orion.ncsc.mil Pages: 16 Characters: 28760 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-ecp-groups-03.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4753.txt This document describes new Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) 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 curve groups are based on modular arithmetic rather than binary arithmetic. These new groups are defined to align IKE and IKEv2 with other ECC implementations and standards, particularly NIST standards. In addition, the curves defined here can provide more efficient implementation than previously defined ECC groups. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
