RFC 5903
Title: Elliptic Curve Groups modulo a
Prime (ECP Groups) for IKE and
IKEv2
Author: D. Fu, J. Solinas
Status: Informational
Stream: IETF
Date: June 2010
Mailbox: defu@orion.ncsc.mil,

Pages: 16

I-D Tag: draft-solinas-rfc4753bis-01.txt
URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5903.txt
This document describes three Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) groups
for use in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange
version 2 (IKEv2) protocols in addition to previously defined groups.
These groups are based on modular arithmetic rather than binary
arithmetic. These groups are defined to align IKE and IKEv2 with
other ECC implementations and standards, particularly NIST standards.
In addition, the curves defined here can provide more efficient
implementation than previously defined ECC groups. This document
obsoletes RFC 4753. This document is not an Internet Standards Track
specification; it is published for informational purposes.
