Title : IKE Authentication Using ECDSA Author(s) : S. Blake-Wilson, P. Fahn Filename : draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-auth-ecdsa-01.txt Pages : 5 Date : 06-Nov-00 This document describes how the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) may be used as the authentication method within the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol.
ECDSA provides authentication and non-repudiation with benefits of computational efficiency, small signature sizes, and minimal bandwidth, compared to other available digital signature methods.
This document adds ECDSA capability to IKE without introducing any changes to existing IKE operation.

When ECDSA is used with SHA-1, RFC 3279 says that the following object identifier ought to be employed: ecdsa-with-SHA1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ecSigType 1 } Dan Brown from Certicom has submitted a specification for Additional Algorithms and Identifiers for use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography with PKIX [I1].
ECDSA with Explicit Identification of the One-Way Hash Function To avoid potential ambiguity, this specification provides algorithm identifiers for ECDSA with the following one-way hash functions: SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.
Note that the algorithm identifier for ECDSA with SHA-1 is already provided in RFC 3279 [N1].

The advantage of ECDSA compared to RSA-like schemes is shorter key lengths and faster signing and decryption.

The sufficient conditions include (i) a uniformity property and collision-resistance for the underlying hash function, (ii) pseudo-randomness in the private key space for the ephemeral private key generator, (iii) generic treatment of the underlying group, and (iv) a further condition on how the ephemeral public keys are mapped into the private key space.
Despite the similarity between DSA and ECDSA, the main result is not appropriate for DSA, because the fourth condition above seems to fail for DSA.

A team of researchers has developed a new implementation for ECDSA that reduces the time needed to verify a digital signature by 40 percent, making it more efficient than open-source alternatives and legacy systems.
Referred to as Fast ECDSA Verify, this new implementation is especially relevant for applications such as Check 21 and e-passports that need to process large quantities of pieces quickly or have limited computing power.
This new implementation will also have positive implications for those organizations that are using the ECC-based technology recommended by the National Security Agency to protect national security information.

The recommended approach to loading an ECDSA public key is to ASN.1 encode the raw key and call the load method for ASN.1 encoded keys.
For ECDSA keys, you must specify an algorithm identifier (containing specifications for the elliptic curve parameters).

 Modifications of ECDSA
We describe two variants of ECDSA one of which is secure, in the random oracle model, against existential forgery but suffers from the notion of duplicate signatures.
The second variant is also secure against existential forgery but we argue that it is likely to possess only four natural duplicate signatures.
Our variants of ECDSA are analogous to the variants of DSA as proposed by Brickell \it et al.
