IEEE P1363

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IEEE P1363 is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standardization project for public key cryptography. It includes specifications for:

• Traditional public key cryptography (P1363-2000 and P1363A-2004), including digital signature and key establishment, using several mathematical approaches:
  • Integer factorization (RSA).
  • Discrete logarithm (Diffie-Hellman, DSA).
  • elliptic curve discrete logarithm (MQV).

• Lattice-based public key cryptography (P1363.1) encryption and digital signature (NTRUEncrypt and NTRUSign).

• Password-based public key cryptography (P1363.2)
  • Password-authenticated key agreement (e.g. EKE, SPEKE, SRP)
  • Password-authenticated key retrieval (e.g. Ford and Kaliski) schemes.

• Identity-based public key cryptography based on pairings (P1363.3) (project approved September 2005).

The chair of the working group as of December 2005 is William Whyte of NTRU Cryptosystems, Inc., who has served since August 2001. Former chairs were Ari Singer, also of NTRU (1999-2001), and Burt Kaliski of RSA Security (1994-1999).
