Title : Additional Diffie-Hellman Groups for use with IETF Standards
Author(s) : M. Lepinski, S. Kent
Filename : draft-lepinski-dh-groups-02.txt
Pages : 25
Date : 2007-11-05
This document describes eight Diffie-Hellman groups that can be used
in conjunction with IETF protocols to provide security for Internet
communications. The groups allow implementers to use the same groups
with a variety of security protocols, e.g., SMIME, SSH, TLS, and IKE.
All of these groups comply in form and structure with relevant
standards from ISO, ANSI, NIST and the IEEE. These groups are
compatible with all IETF standards that make use of Diffie-Hellman or
Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman crypto.
These groups and the associated test data are defined by NIST on
their web site [EX80056A], but have not yet (as of this writing) been
published in a formal NIST document. Publication of these groups and
associated test data as an RFC will facilitate development of
interoperable implementations and support FIPS validation of
implementations that make use of these groups.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-lepinski-dh-groups-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
