Abstract
This document describes three Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) groupsfor use in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and Internet Key Exchangeversion 2 (IKEv2) protocols in addition to previously defined groups.These groups are based on modular arithmetic rather than binaryarithmetic. These groups are defined to align IKE and IKEv2 withother ECC implementations and standards, particularly NIST standards.In addition, the curves defined here can provide more efficientimplementation than previously defined ECC groups. This documentobsoletes RFC 4753. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
