rfc.4492 - Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
16.05.2006
Abstract:
This document describes new key exchange algorithms based on Elliptic
Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
protocol. In particular, it specifies the use of Elliptic Curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement in a TLS handshake and the use of
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as a new
authentication mechanism.
