Title : Negotiated Finite Field Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral Parameters for TLS Author : Daniel Kahn Gillmor Filename : draft-ietf-tls-negotiated-ff-dhe-08.txt Pages : 25 Date : 2015-03-28 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.
