The IESG has approved the following document: - 'CFRG ECDH and signatures in JOSE' (draft-ietf-jose-cfrg-curves-06.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stephen Farrell and Kathleen Moriarty. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jose-cfrg-curves/ Technical Summary This document defines how to use Diffie-Hellman algorithms "X25519" and "X448" as well as signature algorithms "Ed25519" and "Ed448" from IRTF CFRG elliptic curves work in JOSE. An explicit decision was made not to include the pre-hash versions of the Edwards Signature algorithms. Working Group Summary The chairs believe there was adequate review of this draft. I would have liked to see a few more reviews, however the core cryptographic security is considered to be solid, and has had more than sufficient review from the CFRG. Document Quality The document shepherd is working on an implementation, no others were mentioned. Personnel Jim Schaad is the Document Shepherd. Kathleen Moriarty is the Responsible Area Director. IANA Note This draft adds registry entries to several of the JOSE registries. IANA has already reviewed and the editors are working on the corrections required.
