[cabfpub] BR: brainpoolp256r1 curve

[Tim Hollebeek]

My German is rusty, but is it actually saying it is the highest priority
curve?

Hello:

I am posting the following on behalf of Rufus Buschart of Siemens, for
discussion.

Kind regards, Stephen

The "Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik" (German Federal
Office for Information Security) published a technical guidance TR-03116-3
which defines fundamental cryptographic requirements for governmental
projects. In chapter 2.1.3 it defines three elliptic curves that have to be
supported as a minimum for SSL/TLS. One of the three curves is the
brainpoolp256r1 curve. This curve is not currently allowed according to the
BRGs chapter 6.1.5.

I would like to propose, that this curve becomes allowed by the BRGs as
well.

TR-03116-3:
