Check the IETF archives.

Well EC can be used with IPsec as it is an algorithm if you choose to do that.
An RFC? Who exactly is using it?
I don't have the RFC book marked evidently on this system. But I have it somewhere on my main system. I see if I can find it and post the URL's to you when I return to the US. A number of large banks, the SEC, the NASD, the US Federal reserve bank, and I believe the US Treasury Dept. NSA uses Elliptical Curve as well for certs for E-Mail and special file transfers. Also a number of Investment houses use it as well that I know of. The list is rather long. Regards, -- Jeffrey A. Williams Spokesman for INEGroup - (Over 118k members strong!) CEO/DIR.
