Overview#

NIST.SP.800-56A NIST.SP.800-56A is a NIST Special Publication titled as Recommendation for Pair-Wise Key-Establishment Schemes Using Discrete Logarithm Cryptography

Abatract#

This Recommendation specifies key-establishment schemes based on the discrete logarithm problem over finite fields and elliptic curves, including several variations of Diffie-Hellman and Menezes-Qu-Vanstone (MQV) key establishment schemes.
