Hello.
I am looking to deploy (Ephemeral) Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE). Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange avoids all known feasible cryptanalytic attacks, and modern web browsers now prefer ECDHE over the original, finite field, Diffie-Hellman. The discrete log algorithms we used to attack standard Diffie-Hellman groups do not gain as strong of an advantage from precomputation, and individual servers do not need to generate unique elliptic curves.
I plan to use a Strong, Diffie Hellman Group. A few 1024-bit groups are used by millions of servers, which makes them an optimal target for precomputation, and potential eavesdropping. Administrators should use 2048-bit or stronger Diffie-Hellman groups with "safe" primes.
However, I do not see that ChilKat supports ECDHE, yet.
Surely you have this on your roadmap. Can you give me an indication of when you will be officially supporting ECDHE?
Thanks.
Dennis
