Introduction [RFC5480] specifies the syntax and semantics for the Subject Public Key Information field in certificates that support Elliptic Curve Cryptography. As part of these semantics, it defines what combinations are permissible for the values of the key usage extension [RFC5280]. [RFC5480] specifies 7 of the 9 values; it makes no mention of keyEncipherment and dataEncipherment key usage bits. This document corrects this omission, by updating Section 3 of [RFC5480] to make it clear that neither keyEncipherment nor the dataEncipherment key usage bits are set for key agreement algorithms defined therein. The additions are to be made to the end of Section 3. 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. 3. Updates to Section 3 If the keyUsage extension is present in a certificate that indicates id-ecPublicKey in SubjectPublicKeyInfo, then following values MUST NOT be present: keyEncipherment; and dataEncipherment. If the keyUsage extension is present in a certificate that indicates id-ecDH or id-ecMQV in SubjectPublicKeyInfo, then the following values also MUST NOT be present: keyEncipherment; and dataEncipherment.

Security Considerations This document introduces no new security considerations beyond those found in [RFC5480]. 5. IANA Considerations This document makes no request of IANA. 6.
