As far as I can tell, this document describes a number of ecc cipher suites that can be used by TLS servers and clients. It describes the interaction btween the client and server for the various cipher suites used. So for all I can tell, this has no operational or network management impacts on the internet. NITS: - abstract states: protocol. In particular, it specifies the use of Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE).... I would have expected the acronym to be EECDH ??? in fact the text in section 2: All of them use Ephemeral ECDH (ECDHE).... makes me think that indeed EECDH is a much better acronym or abbreviation But you can ignore this, it is probably just my preference how I would abbreviate. - Introduction states: o the use of the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key agreement scheme with ephemeral keys to establish the TLS premaster secret, and o the use of ECDSA certificates for authentication of TLS peers. Why do you use the full text (not acronym) in the first bullet and only an acronym in the 2nd bullet? Bert Wijnen
