ECP Groups For IKE and IKEv2
RFC 4753, “ECP Groups For IKE and IKEv2”, is an Informational document published in January 2007 by D. Fu, J. Solinas. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5903 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes new Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) groups for use in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocols in addition to previously defined groups. Specifically, the new curve groups are based on modular arithmetic rather than binary arithmetic. These new groups are defined to align IKE and IKEv2 with other ECC implementations and standards, particularly NIST standards. In addition, the curves defined here can provide more efficient implementation than previously defined ECC groups. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
