>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
