[openssl-users] ECC ciphers in OpenSSL and Citricom Patent/License terms

[Jayalakshmi bhat]

Hi,

I have a question on ECC ciphers implementaion in OpenSSL. I do see
README.ECC file in FIPS certfied OpenSSL crypto library. That says  The
OpenSSL Software Foundation has executed a sublicense agreement
entitled "Elliptic Curve Cryptography Patent License Agreement" with the
National Security Agency/ Central Security Service Commercial Solutions
Center (NCSC) dated 2010-11-04.

However OpenSSL library does not include this file. Does it mean to use ECC
ciphers from OpenSSL does the end user needs to get the license from
Citricom?

Thanks and Regards
Jayalakshmi
