The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Elliptic Curve Private Key Structure ' <draft-turner-ecprivatekey-04.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 Tim Polk. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-turner-ecprivatekey-04.txt Technical Summary This document specifies the syntax and semantics for Elliptic Curve (EC) private key information. This syntax and semantics defined therein are based on a similar syntax and semantics defined in Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group (SECG). It is profiled for the IETF as the ECPublicKey structure from SECG is profiled for the IETF in RFC 5480. Working Group Summary The publication announcement for this I-D was forwarded to the PKIX WG for comment. Reviews resulted in 3 versions. The 1st revision replaced the conversion routine with an existing routine from RFC 3447 (reuse is better than reinventing), added an acknowledgments section, and updated a reference for Base64 encodings. The 2nd revision added an other considerations section to discuss transfer and local storage encoding and required the presence of parameters. Document Quality This text is short (4 pages) and so is the ASN.1 (5 lines). It is based on the SECG document whose text and ASN.1 has been stable for many years. OpenSSL supports the structure as defined in this document. Personnel Carl Wallace is the document Shepherd. Tim Polk is the responsible AD. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
