This note describes the fundamental algorithms of Elliptic Curve
Cryptography (ECC) as they were defined in some seminal references
from 1994 and earlier.  These descriptions may be useful for
implementing the fundamental algorithms without using any of the
specialized methods that were developed in following years.  Only
elliptic curves defined over fields of characteristic greater than
three are in scope; these curves are those used in Suite B.
This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
published for informational purposes.


INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.

All,

Tim, Stephen, and I are putting together the SAAG agendas for Prague and 
Quebec City.

The agenda traditionally includes one or two invited presentations after 
the working group reports.  If you believe a topic would be of interest 
to the community, then please suggest it to us.

If you can identify an appropriate presenter (not necessarily yourself) 
that would be helpful.  Also, please indicate whether you'd prefer 
Prague or Quebec City.

Thanks,

spt

P.S. We've already received one request.

has there been any library development yet? I am interested in code size 
for ECDSA and ECDH using this RFC.

I am aware of that, but what algoritm(s) does it use?  The ones in 6090 
or something else?  Where is it documented what underlying algorithm it 
uses for ECDSA and ECDH?

  The underlying algorithms _are_ ECDSA and ECDH. If you're asking
whether the algorithms are strictly "fundamental" (in the sense of 6090)
or whether they stray off into problematic areas then you'll have to
arrive at that conclusion yourself. But a compliant implementation of
RFC 6090-specified ECDSA and ECDH will interoperate with OpenSSL.

Right.  Also, the openSSL ECC implementation contributed by Sun  
contains a lot of ECC that is out of scope for RFC6090, such as  
different curves and representations.

NSS has support but #ifdef'ed out.
Windows 7 and 2008 have ECC support.
Some Smart cards, like Oberthur id-one has ECC.
OpenSC has some ECDSA (but not ECDH yet).

NIST announces the release of Draft Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) 180-4, Secure Hash Standard (SHS).
<http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/fips180-4/Draft-FIPS180-4_Feb2011.pdf>Draft 

FIPS 180-4 is a proposed revision of FIPS 180-3. Draft FIPS 180-4 adds a
general procedure for creating an initialization hash value and two
additional secure hash algorithms: SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256, and
removes a requirement that padding must be done before hash computation
begins. SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 may be more efficient alternatives
to SHA-224 and SHA-256, respectively, on platforms that are optimized
for 64-bit operations. Removing the restriction on the padding operation
in the secure hash algorithms will potentially create more flexibility
and efficiency in implementing the secure hash algorithms in many
computer network applications. The Federal Register Notice (FRN) of this
publication is located _here
<http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/fips180-4/FRN_Draft-FIPS180-4.pdf>_. 

Examples of the implementation of the secure hash algorithms SHA-1,
SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256, can be
found at http://www.nist.gov/CryptoToolkitExamples.

 use the new hashes, such as ECDSA?

While this thread is doubtless interesting to those on the various lists =
in the CC line, it's getting a bit verbose.=20

Perhaps discussion could be consolidated on the http-auth@ietf.org list?

Is there a reason that the OIDs supplied here:

<http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/crypto_apps_infra/csor/algorithms.html>

are insufficient? It's what we've been using before, with just a new 5 =
and 6 for the two new hashes.

PKIX, RFC 5480, used individual OIDs for ecdsa-with-SHA1, ecdsa-with-SHA256,=
 etc, which are defined under the ANSI X9.62 arc.  

ANSI X9.62 also has an OID ECDSA-with-Specified, allowing the hash to specif=
ied in the parameters field of an algorithm identifier, which would allow fo=
r the NIST hash OIDs to be used easily, albeit at the expense of two OIDs in=
stead of one.

Also, some RFCs, e.g. 4055 Section 2.1, might need minor updating to allow u=
se of the new NIST OIDs.
