Re: [Lwip] Magnus Westerlund's Discuss on draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations-19: (with DISCUSS)

[Erik Kline <[e-mail]>]

Rene and Mohit have the full history (starting from 2018), but as I
understand it, the work grew out of the 6lo-ap-nd doc (now RFC 8928;
see all the "CURVE-REPR" references sprinkled throughout).  It was in
support of these IPv6 ND extensions for IoT devices that this draft
was started.

Section 7 of this draft is about Implementation Status.  It contains a
pointer to a software implementation and a web page discussing a
hardware implementation of mapping to a Weierstrass form that is
described in this doc (AIUI), though the 2nd paragraph states some
important caveats.  I'll have to leave it to others to discuss any
further implementation experiences not documented in section 7.
