Preface
Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).
This Standard supersedes CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 15946-1-04 (adoption of ISO/IEC 15946-1:2002), and it includes Technical Corrigendum 1:2009. At the time of publication, ISO/IEC 15946-1:2008 and Technical Corrigendum 1:2009 are available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA will publish the French versions when they become available from ISO and IEC.
Scope
ISO/IEC 15946 specifies public-key cryptographic techniques based on elliptic curves. These include the establishment of keys for secret-key systems, and digital signature mechanisms.
This part of ISO/IEC 15946 describes the mathematical background and general techniques necessary for implementing any of the mechanisms described in other parts of ISO/IEC 15946 and other ISO/IEC standards.
The scope of this part of ISO/IEC 15946 is restricted to cryptographic techniques based on elliptic curves defined over finite fields of prime power order (including the special cases of prime order and characteristic two). The representation of elements of the underlying finite field when the field is not of prime order (i.e. which basis is used) is outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 15946.
ISO/IEC 15946 does not specify the implementation of the techniques it defines. Interoperability of products complying with this part of ISO/IEC 15946 will not be guaranteed.
