Use of Static-Static Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement in Cryptographic Message Syntax
RFC 6278, “Use of Static-Static Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement in Cryptographic Message Syntax”, is an Informational document published in June 2011 by J. Herzog, R. Khazan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how to use the 'static-static Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key-agreement scheme (i.e., Elliptic Curve Diffie- Hellman where both participants use static Diffie-Hellman values) with the Cryptographic Message Syntax. In this form of key agreement, the Diffie-Hellman values of both the sender and receiver are long-term values contained in certificates. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
