>> Has anyone here tried to implement [draft-green-secsh-ecc]?I'd like to, but it appears unimplementable without copies of X9.63 and IEEE1363, [...]ANSI X9.63 and IEEE 1363 are listed as informative references only. I believe that SEC 1, listed as a normative reference, contains all information required to implement ECDH, ECDSA, and ECMQV; it is freely available from the URL in the references.Actually, it is not; it is at least two and I think three links removed from the URL in the references. (The shortest path I've found is http://www.secg.org/ -> "Documents" -> http://www.secg.org/index.php?action=secg,docs_home -> "Released Standards" -> http://www.secg.org/?action=secg,docs_secg -> "SEC1: Elliptic Curve Cryptography version 2.0" -> http://www.secg.org/download/aid-780/sec1-v2.pdf.)
This is true. A better reference would be one that includes a link directly to the document in question, rather than just to the SECG web site. However, a stable reference is important too -- a URL that will stop working is not very useful.
