RFC 6239 (Suite B Crypto Suites for SSH) has this to say about naming: ,----< excerpt from rfc6239.txt > | Curve NIST name SECG name OID [SEC2] | --------------------------------------------------------------- | P-256 nistp256 secp256r1 1.2.840.10045.3.1.7 | P-384 nistp384 secp384r1 1.3.132.0.34 `---- (Based on [SEC2], I presume the next line would be: ?-??? nistp521 secp521r1 1.3.132.0.35 ) So it looks liek the secp...r1 names are as good as any. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ nettle-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/nettle-bugs
