IEEE P1363

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.

Other kinds of public key cryptography may be standardized in future projects.
