Elliptic Curve Algorithm Integration in the Secure Shell Transport Layer
RFC 5656, “Elliptic Curve Algorithm Integration in the Secure Shell Transport Layer”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2009 by D. Stebila, J. Green. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes algorithms based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for use within the Secure Shell (SSH) transport protocol. In particular, it specifies Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement, Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (ECMQV) key agreement, and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for use in the SSH Transport Layer protocol. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
