In my humble opinion, this has been an enormous limitation on this
standard. But there are other curves with OIDs (check for the Brainpool
standard Curves. The rfc4492, similar to what you mention but for TLS,
allows any arbitrary curve (prime char2) but rfc 6637 doesn't allow us to
go that far.
Hi Everyone,
Do you know if someone is currently working to implement additional
curves in ECC
and especially to have an alternative to the NIST ones in gcrypt/GnuPG?
and I was wondering if we are bound to the ones defined in:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6637#section-11
Thank you,
Cheers.
