Elliptic curve algorithms for a new PKI Hierarchy in the Peruvian State

Abstract

In this paper we determine the elliptic curve algorithms with its respective parameters and technical specifications for a new PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) hierarchy in the Peruvian state considering the following aspects: the provisions of accreditation guide for Certification Entities of the IOFE, cryptographic modules of the hierarchy ECERNEP PERU CA ROOT 4, elliptic curves of the SafeCurves initiatives and elliptic curves utilized in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for digital signature and encryption. The results of this paper were validated by RENIEC (Spanish acronym of National Registry of Identification and Civil Status) specialist personnel and were used for the implementation of the new PKI hierarchy for the Peruvian state.
