Re: Remove SHOULD for elliptic curve groups in IKEv2




In my previous note about published work on using elliptic curve
groups for cryptography, I did not mean to imply that existing
patents are invalid.  What I meant to say is that the patents do
not cover the basic algorithms, nor do they cover all good
implementation methods.  There is plenty of early published
work covering the ideas.  It's not nearly as all-encompassing
as the RSA or DH patent situation was.
