Hello,
are there any plans to support eliptic curve MQV key agreements in openssl?
afaik no, btw: have a look at [1]

It seems that it is yet another reason to support adding new assymetric
algorithms by loadable engines.
Providing plugins with patented algorithms is much easier for patent
holders than maintaining patched version of openssl.
And it is much easier to users to just drop in an engine module.
Although our current proposal
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssl-dev&m=109947214028600&w=2
doesn't specify a way to automatically load such plugins into all
applications which link with libcrypto.
It should be obvois next step when we get this infrastructure working.
Why would we want to assist patent holders?
