The IESG has received a request from the CURves, Deprecating and a Little
more Encryption WG (curdle) to consider the following document: - 'Algorithm
Identifiers for Ed25519, Ed448, X25519 and X448 for use in
the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure'
<draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-06.txt> as Internet Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-10-09. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of
the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

This document specifies algorithm identifiers and ASN.1 encoding
formats for Elliptic Curve constructs using the curve25519 and
curve448 curves. The signature algorithms covered are Ed25519 and
Ed448. The key agreement algorithm covered are X25519 and X448. The
encoding for Public Key, Private Key and EdDSA digital signature
structures is provided.
