In [RFC5639], a new set of elliptic curve groups over finite prime In [RFC5639], a new set of elliptic curve groups over finite prime
fields for use in cryptographic applications was specified. These fields for use in cryptographic applications was specified. These
groups, denoted as ECC Brainpool curves, were generated in a groups, denoted as ECC Brainpool curves, were generated in a
verifiably pseudo-random way and comply with the security verifiably pseudo-random way and comply with the security

Usage of elliptic curves for authentication and key agreement in TLS Usage of elliptic curves for authentication and key agreement in TLS
1.1 and TLS 2.0 is defined in [RFC4492]. While the ASN.1 object 1.0 and TLS 1.1 is defined in [RFC4492]. While the ASN.1 object
identifiers defined in [RFC5639] already allow usage of the ECC identifiers defined in [RFC5639] already allow usage of the ECC
