Title : Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for TLS
Author : Daniel Kahn Gillmor
Filename : draft-ietf-tls-negotiated-ff-dhe-03.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2014-11-12
Abstract:
Traditional finite-field-based Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange
during the TLS handshake suffers from a number of security,
interoperability, and efficiency shortcomings. These shortcomings
arise from lack of clarity about which DH group parameters TLS
servers should offer and clients should accept. This document offers
a solution to these shortcomings for compatible peers by using a
section of the TLS "EC Named Curve Registry" to establish common
finite-field DH parameters with known structure and a mechanism for
peers to negotiate support for these groups.
