A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8422 Title: Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS) Versions 1.2 and Earlier Author: Y. Nir, S. Josefsson, M. Pegourie-Gonnard Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: August 2018 Mailbox: ynir.ietf@gmail.com, simon@josefsson.org, mpg@elzevir.fr Pages: 34 Characters: 69965 Obsoletes: RFC 4492 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-17.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8422 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8422 This document describes key exchange algorithms based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. In particular, it specifies the use of Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) key agreement in a TLS handshake and the use of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) as authentication mechanisms. This document obsoletes RFC 4492. This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
