The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Using ED25519 in SSHFP Resource Records' (draft-moonesamy-sshfp-ed25519-02.txt) as Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Stephen Farrell. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-moonesamy-sshfp-ed25519/ Technical Summary This document updates the IANA "SSHFP RR Types for public key algorithms" registry by adding an algorithm number for Ed25519. Working Group Summary This is not a WG document. The document was discussed on the SAAG mailing list. Comments about the Ed25519 signature algorithm were solicited from CFRG. There was feedback about Ed25519 during an interim CFRG meeting. Comments were received during IETF LC and were addressed. (Mainly to define hash input.) IANA has allocated the codepoint requested via the early allocation scheme (RFC7120). Document Quality The document does not specify a protocol. The document was reviewed on the SAAG and CFRG mailing lists. Personnel Stephen Farrell is the Responsible Area Director. RFC Editor Note 1) Please move the reference Ed25519 from the informative to the normative references section. 2) Please add the following NEW text to the start of section 2, "The encoding of Ed25519 public keys is described in [Ed25519]. Â In brief, an Ed25519 public key is a 32-octet value representing a 255-bit y-coordinate of an elliptic curve point, and a sign bit indicating the corresponding x-coordinate." IANA Note IANA has already provisionally assigned the value 4 for the TBD in this draft.
