A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: IKE and IKEv2 Authentication Using ECDSA
	Author(s)	: J. Solinas, D. Fu
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-auth-ecdsa-06.txt
	Pages		: 15
	Date		: 2006-7-18

This document describes how the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
   Algorithm (ECDSA) may be used as the authentication method within
   the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange version 2
   (IKEv2) protocols.  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 IKE and IKEv2 without 
   introducing any changes to existing IKE 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
