Just to clarify: Windows TLS stack only supports named_curve in SKE messages.

Cheers,

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [TLS] Explicit curve parameters in Server Key Exchange 
messages

Dear all,

related to the recent Windows/NSA custom curve certificate issues, we are 
wondering whether there are any implementations also supporting explicit curves 
in TLS server key exchange messages as defined in
https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftools.ietf.org%2Fhtml%2Frfc4492%23section-5.4&amp;data=02%7C01%7CAndrei.Popov%40microsoft.com%7Cf76997d47f804c33ab4208d79b6f7aab%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637148775489120191&amp;sdata=EQNVhlVtJnLlpuRF3eIVwbAfu9bivC%2FXsuFSjvmzS40%3D&amp;reserved=0

Typical TLS implementations we are aware of only support named curves in server 
key exchange messages.

Note that this is different from the custom curves in X.509 certificates. 
According to RFC4492, it is also possible to use custom explicit curves 
directly in the TLS protocol.

Thank you
