ECC is *not* available in the OpenSSL package provided on RedHat systems. RedHat intentionally strips it due to patent concerns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_patents). Therefore committing this work made it much more difficult to build the ssl module on RedHat systems. I couldn't find a clear statement of this in any RedHat documentation, but I did find a few references to the stripping in these places: * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=623483 * https://www.martineve.com/2011/07/22/using-elliptical-curve-cryptography-in-openssh/ * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615372 Perhaps we should make these algorithms build conditional? Are these patent issues of concern to us? |
