In regards to the recent email activity concerning Certicom's IPR and the 'TLS Elliptic Curve Cipher Suites with SHA-256/384 and AES Galois Counter Mode', it is Certicom's continuing intention to foster the adoption of elliptic curve cryptography.  As such we will be extending the IETF grant to cover TLS 1.2 as specified in http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-rfc4346-bis-10.txt,  when used with
      A. "ECC Cipher Suites for TLS" draft http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4492.txt or,
        B. The ECC cipher suites with SHA256/384 and AES Counter Mode http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-ecc-new-mac-07.txt,

under the same terms that appear in the January 2006 IETF Contribution Letter.  This letter and an FAQ concerning that letter can be found at, http://www.certicom.com/index.php/ip-contributions

Once the updated letter has been finalize we will post it to the TLS Working Group.

Regards,
   Matthew Campagna
