ECMQV_ECQV Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Abstract

This document specifies a set of cipher suites for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol that use Elliptic Curve Qu-Vanstone (ECQV) certificates to authenticate an Elliptic Curve Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (ECMQV) exchange. These cipher suites provide forward secrecy.
