Internet-Draft Brainpool ECC for IKE Group Registry January 2013
1. Introduction
[RFC5639] defines new elliptic curve domain parmaeters for curves
over a number of different prime fields, each with a "twisted"
varient. These curves have a number of interesting security
properties (as described in [EBP]) that make them desirable to use.
IANA maintains a registry for [RFC2409] to map complete domain
parameter sets into easily-referenced numbers. While [RFC2409] is
deprecated, other protocols, for example [IEEE802.11] and [RFC5931],
refer to this registry for its convenience. Therefore, this memo
instructs IANA to allocate new code points for the Brainpool curves
defined in [RFC5639] to the registry established by [RFC2409] to be
used by other protocols.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Brainpool Elliptic Curves
[RFC5639] defines several elliptic curves over finite prime fields
(ECP, in the parlance of [RFC2409]). The domain parameter sets for
each of the elliptic curves defined in [RFC5639] and are copied here
for convenient reference.
The equation for all elliptic curves defined here is:
y^2 = x^3 + ax + b (mod p)
Domain parameter sets consist of:
o p: the prime
o a, b: parameters to the equation of the curve
o x, y: the coordinates of the generator for the group, G
o q: the order of the group formed by the generator G
o h: the co-factor
o z: the "twist" (for conversion into twisted curves)
[RFC5639] defines elliptic curves over seven (7) prime fields with a

Internet-Draft Brainpool ECC for IKE Group Registry January 2013
"twisted" and non-"twisted" variety for each, for a total of fourteen
(14) distinct curves. Some of those curves, though, are not
particularly useful: the 160-bit curves provide only 80 bits of
strength and that is too small to be of use in current cryptographic
applications, and there is no standard hash function to use with the
196-bit and 320-bit curves-- it would make more sense to use the 224-
bit and 384-bit curves, respectively, instead. For this reason the
curves defined over 160-bit, 192-bit and 320-bit primes are not being
added to the registry created by [RFC2409].
The twisted curves in [RFC5639] are isomorphic to the untwisted
curves of the same length. The curve parameter "a" for the twisted
curves equals -3 mod p and there are certain arithmatical advantages
to using such curves. It is possible to convert a point from an
untwisted curve (x,y) into a point on the twisted curve (x', y') and
back again using this equation:
(x',y') = (x*z^2, y*z^3)
This would allow an implementation to internally use the twisted
version of the curve, taking full advantage of the arithmatical
advantages, while exchanging points on the untwisted versions of the
curve with peers.
Therefore, the twisted curves are not being added to the registry
created by [RFC2409]. Implementations that desire to use the twisted
curves internally MUST refer to [RFC5639] for the complete domain
parameter sets, only the "twist" is defined here.

3. IANA Considerations
IANA is instructed to assign four values from the unassigned portion
of the "Group description" portion of the [IANA-IKE] registry and
replace TBD1-TBD4 in this memo with those values. These assigned
values SHALL be identical to those being assigned to identical curves
that are being added to a similar registry by [BPIKEV2].
IANA is further instructed to update the "Group desription" portion
of the [IANA-IKE] registry by appending Table 1 to the registry table
and replace the words "this memo" (including the quotes) with a
reference to the RFC number assigned to this memo.

4. Security Considerations
[EBP] describes the security properties of the curves referenced
here. The curves support security levels of 112 (Section 2.1), 128
(Section 2.2), 192 (Section 2.3), and 256 (Section 2.4). These
security levels assume that when these elliptic curves are used with
discrete logarithm crryptography, for example elliptic curve Diffie-
Hellman, that the private key used is a uniformly random number in
the range [1..(q-1)], where q is the order from the curve's domain
parameter set. In order to achieve system security commensurate with
the security level of a particular elliptic curve, it is incumbent
upon an implementation to choose key derivation functions, keyed hash
functions, pseudo-random functions, and ciphers according to the
recommendations from [SP800-57].
5. Use of Brainpool Curves
The note in Section 3 is an administrative prohibition, not a
technical one. It is there because [RFC2409] has been deprecated but
is still widely used and there is a desire in the IETF to not do
anything that could prolong its use. Addition of these curves was
perceived as doing just that. The registry could not have been
updated without the note indicating that these curves are not for use
with [RFC2409] and that would have a detrimental affect on the other
protocols that use [RFC2409]'s registry.
