Elliptic Curve Key Management

1999-12-10 09:53:06
Paul Lambert briefed the "Elliptic Curve S/MIME" Internet-Draft at the IETF meeting in November. The document is stored in draft-ietf-smime-ecc-00.txt, and it includes EC algorithms for digital signatures and key management. The EC Diffie-Hellman (D-H) is based on ANSI X9.63, and the EC Digital Signature Algorithm is based on ANSI X9.62.

During his briefing, Paul stated that there is one issue. The Internet-Draft includes two recommendations for ECDH: one-pass D-H and cofactor D-H. Paul recommends that the S/MIME working group pick one or the other, but not both.

I want this thread to begin the discussion for the selection...
