Sorry, I can't see that. The only problem I see with 6637 is that the
standard uncompressed encoding is required and that we have no way to
change that
In my humble opinion, this has been an enormous limitation on this
standard. But there are other curves with OIDs (check for the "Brainpool
standard Curves". The rfc4492, similar to what you mention but for TLS,
allows any arbitrary curve (prime & char2) but rfc 6637 doesn't allow us to
go that far
Hi Everyone,
Do you know if someone is currently working to implement additional
curves in ECC
and especially to have an alternative to the NIST ones in gcrypt/GnuPG?
and I was wondering if we are bound to the ones defined in:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6637#section-11
Thank you,
Cheers.
