The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'IKE and IKEv2 Authentication Using ECDSA '
    <draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-auth-ecdsa-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an
IETF Working Group.

The IESG contact person is Russ Housley.

Technical Summary

   This document describes how the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
   Algorithm (ECDSA) may be used as the authentication method within the
   Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange version 2
   (IKEv2) protocols.  ECDSA may provide benefits including computational
   efficiency, small signature sizes, and minimal bandwidth compared to
   other available digital signature methods.  This document adds ECDSA
   capability to IKE without introducing any changes to existing IKE
   operation.

Working Group Summary

   This document is an individual submission.  It was discussed in the
   IPsec Working Group, but that working group was closed before reaching
   consensus on this document.  Thus, it is not affiliated with any IETF
   Working Group.

Protocol Quality

   This document was reviewed by Russ Housley for the IESG.

Note to IANA

   The registry is http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipsec-registry [IANA-IKE],
   and the section within the registry is "IPSEC Authentication Methods".
   The three new additions are:

      Method                                        Value
      ------                                        -----
      ECDSA with SHA-256 on the P-256 curve           9
      ECDSA with SHA-384 on the P-384 curve          10
      ECDSA with SHA-521 on the P-512 curve          11

   The registry is http://www.iana.org/assignments/ikev2-parameters
   [IANA-IKEv2], and the section within the registry is "IKEv2
   Authentication Method".  The three new additions are:

      Method                                        Value
      ------                                        -----
