The IESG has received a request from the Light-Weight Implementation Guidance WG (lwig) to consider the following document: - 'Alternative Elliptic Curve Representations' <draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations-12.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2020-09-08. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies how to represent Montgomery curves and (twisted) Edwards curves as curves in short-Weierstrass form and illustrates how this can be used to carry out elliptic curve computations using existing implementations of, e.g., ECDSA and ECDH using NIST prime curves. We also provide extensive background material that may be useful for implementers of elliptic curve cryptography. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lwig-curve-representations/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ Lwip mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lwip
