Technical Summary
This document describes three new elliptic curve groups for use in the
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchange version 2
(IKEv2) protocols in addition to previously defined groups.
Specifically, the new elliptic curve groups are based on modular
arithmetic rather than binary arithmetic. These new elliptic groups
are defined to align IKE and IKEv2 with other elliptic cure
cryptography (ECC) implementations and standards, particularly NIST
standards. In addition, the curves defined here can provide more
efficient implementation than previously defined ECC groups.
Working Group Summary
This document is an individual submission, although it was very
briefly discussed on the IPsec mail list.
