Rich: >> First, the use of the same curve for digital signature and key agreement is >> highly desirable. This provides obvious modularity. > > Can you explain what you mean by the term "modularity"? In structuring an implementation, I see different interfaces for signing and key agreement. The software and hardware that implement these interfaces will have several modules, with a wide multiply at the more primitive end of things. In my view, the more modules that are in common between signing and key agreement the better. Russ
