Abstract Abstract
This document describes key exchange algorithms based on Elliptic This document describes key exchange algorithms based on Elliptic
Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
protocol. In particular, it specifies the use of Ephemeral Elliptic protocol. In particular, it specifies the use of Ephemeral Elliptic
Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) key agreement in a TLS handshake and the Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) key agreement in a TLS handshake and the
use of Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Edwards use of Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Edwards
Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) as new authentication mechanisms. Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) as new authentication mechanisms.
