Elliptic Curve Cryptography Support for Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication in Kerberos
RFC 5349, “Elliptic Curve Cryptography Support for Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication in Kerberos”, is an Informational document published in September 2008 by L. Zhu, K. Jaganathan, K. Lauter. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the use of Elliptic Curve certificates, Elliptic Curve signature schemes and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement within the framework of PKINIT -- the Kerberos Version 5 extension that provides for the use of public key cryptography. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
