1 year ago - FIPS 186-4 is obsolete
- Curve definitions have moved to the new NIST SP 800-186
- ANSI X9.62 is behind a paywall and should be avoided if possible. References behind paywall can not be accessed by most readers. This makes it harder to implement and to evaluate the security of the protocol. FIPS 186-5 removed the dependency on ANSI X9.62 and defines ECDSA itself. Point validation is defined in the new NIST SP 800-186.
