A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Common Authentication Technology Working Group of the IETF. Title : Using Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman in the SPKM GSS-API Author(s) : R. Zuccherato, C. Adams Filename : draft-ietf-cat-ecdh-spkm-00.txt Pages : 11 Date : 30-Aug-99 Elliptic curve cryptography is rapidly gaining acceptance and is being increasingly used in applications that are constrained in memory and bandwidth. Efforts are underway to standardize the use of elliptic curves for authentication [ECDSA], [X962] and key agreement [ISO15946], [P1363], [X963]. However, none of these efforts describe the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) method in a form suitable for inclusion in SPKM [RFC2025]. This document will define a new OID and AlgorithmIdentifier which is suitable for use in SPKM and describe how the ECDH algorithm is to be used in SPKM. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-cat-ecdh-spkm-00.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-ietf-cat-ecdh-spkm-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-cat-ecdh-spkm-00.txt". 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.
