I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ipsec-ikev2-auth-ecdsa-00.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IKEv2 Authentication Using ECDSA
	Author(s)	: J. Solinas
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipsec-ikev2-auth-ecdsa-00.txt
	Pages		: 6
	Date		: 2005-4-18

This document describes how the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
   Algorithm (ECDSA) may be used as the authentication method within
   the Internet Key Exchange protocol, version 2 (IKEv2).  ECDSA may 
   provide benefits including computational efficiency, small signature
   sizes, and minimal bandwidth, compared to other available digital 
   signature methods.  This document adds ECDSA capability to IKEv2 
   without introducing any changes to existing IKEv2 operation.

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.
