A new version of I-D, draft-green-secsh-ecc-07.txt has been successfuly submitted by Douglas Stebila and posted to the IETF repository. Filename: draft-green-secsh-ecc Revision: 07 Title: Elliptic-Curve Algorithm Integration in the Secure Shell Transport Layer Creation_date: 2009-04-27 WG ID: Independent Submission Number_of_pages: 23 Abstract: This document describes algorithms based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for use within the Secure Shell (SSH) transport protocol. In particular, it specifies: Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement, Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (ECMQV) key agreement and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for use in the SSH Transport Layer protocol.
Has anyone here tried to implement this? I'm in the process of preparing a writeup to go along with the publication request for this document, and I'd like to hear from anyone willing to share their implementation experience.
