Elliptic curves in gnupg status?(ECC support)
Hey, I found the discussion in this newsgroup linked to below. It was last posted to in 2010. Looked like ECC support was coming, but as far as I can tell GPG doesn't support ECC yet. Is it on it's way? I was just thinking maybe the messages could be short enough yet moderately secure, to send over SMS, due to the shorter key sizes? You wouldn't get much payload space, but maybe a little? In any case ECC is the way of the future for public key crypto is it not? So it's really a pretty desirable feature. I just found out bitcoin is based on ECC. http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2010-April/038647.html ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

It is just a matter of implementing it in GnuPG. Sergi started with that but I have seen fully working code so far. I spend most of the last week to remove the secring.gpg related code in gpg and move the secret key processing entirely to gpg-agent. It is far from being finished but it helps to integrate new algorithms more easily (we don't have to keep pubring and secring in sync). My idea of implementing ECC is to first work on the signing part (ECDSA) before moving to the encryption part with a later version. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.

I was just about to reply, that it might make sense to start implementation in gpg even if standardisation has not yet fully finished. Implementation probably takes quite some time and effort, and in the end phase of standardisation processes there's usually not that much what changes. And I guess, the earlier ECC is available in gpg, the better. My idea of implementing ECC is to first work on the signing part (ECDSA) Sounds reasonable, especially as people can already start to collect signatures then... What rough timescale do you expect to have ECC productively available in gpg? I mean including security audits, well done tests etc.?
