This document describes new key exchange algorithms based on Elliptic
Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
protocol.  In particular, it specifies the use of Elliptic Curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement in a TLS handshake and the use of
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as a new
authentication mechanism.  This memo provides information for the 
Internet community.

This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security
Working Group of the IETF.


INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
