This document describes key exchange algorithms based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. In particular, it specifies the use of Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) key agreement in a TLS handshake and the use of Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Edwards Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) as new authentication mechanisms. Status of This Memo This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79. Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts.

The IPsec series of protocols makes use of various cryptographic algorithms in order to provide security services. The Internet
