Abstract

[Superseded by SP 800-56A Revised (March 2007): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=150618] This Recommendation specifies key establishment schemes using discrete logarithm cryptography, based on standards developed by the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X9, Inc.: ANS X9.42 (Agreement of Symmetric Keys Using Discrete Logarithm Cryptography) and ANS X9.63 (Key Agreement and Key Transport Using Elliptic Curve Cryptography).
