Reply-To: ietf@ietf.org

The IESG has received a request from the Transport Layer Security WG
(tls) to consider the following document:
- 'Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Cipher Suites for Transport Layer
Security (TLS) Versions 1.2 and Earlier'
<draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-12.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-03-03. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

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 Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Edwards
Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) as authentication mechanisms.

No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.

The document contains these normative downward references.
See RFC 3967 for additional information:
rfc8032: Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) (Informational - IRTF Stream)
rfc7748: Elliptic Curves for Security (Informational - IRTF Stream)
These are already be listed in the acceptable Downref Registry.
