Bug ID: 27465
Summary: Update references from X9.63 to SECG
Product: Web Cryptography
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Web Cryptography API Document
Assignee: sleevi@google.com
Reporter: sleevi@google.com
CC: public-webcrypto@w3.org
The X9.63 specifications require purchasing, which may make it difficult for
implementors looking to implement ECDSA and ECDH.
To make the WebCrypto spec freely accessible and implementable, and potentially
meet W3C requirements on normative references, the references should be updated
to refer to the SECG specifications. In particular, SEC 1 (
http://www.secg.org/sec1-v2.pdf ) provides normative definitions for ECDSA and
ECDH that can be freely implemented.
SEC 2 provides explicit definitions for the secp256r1, secp384r1, and secp521r1
curves referenced in the document, but which lack a normative reference for
implementors as to what these mean.
