To : Paul Hoffman and Yaron Sheffer, IPsecme Chairman, Russ Housley, IETF Chairman CC: Stephen Farrell and Sean Turner, Security Area Co-Directors, Dorothy Stanley, IEEE 802.11 Liaison to the IETF Dear IETF, From discussions within IEEE 802.11 that took place July 19th in our San Diego meetings, the IEEE 802.11 Working Group understands that a new set of elliptic curves (the "Brainpool curves") defined in RFC 5639 are proposed to be added to the Group Description IANA registry that was established for IKEv1 (RFC 2409). The IEEE 802.11 Working Group supports this proposed addition. The code points in this registry are used by IEEE 802.11-2012 to conveniently identify domain parameter sets for use by an authentication protocol that employs discrete logarithm cryptography. To enable support of the "Brainpool curves" in IEEE 802.11-2012, the IEEE 802.11 Working Group requests that the IETF make a request to IANA to update the IKEv1 registry named "Group Description" and assign code points for the "Brainpool curves". For your reference, IEEE Std 802.11(tm)-2012 is the current version of the IEEE 802.11 Standard. Please contact myself as chairman of the IEEE 802.11 Working Group and Dorothy Stanley as IEEE 802.11 to IETF Liaison Officer for further information. Best Regards, Bruce Kraemer Chair, IEEE 802.11 |
