Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
Patent License Agreement (PLA) Information
The attached ECC PLA is a free license to twenty-six patents,
patent applications, and the corresponding foreign rights. NSA
purchased this license from Certicom Corporation. To gain a
signed PLA, a company's product must meet a restricted field of
use, which requires that a product must:

Use elliptic curves with a prime modulus p where p is greater
than 2^255.
Be a product for national security compliant with FIPS-140-2 or
its successors.
OR
Use elliptic curves with a prime modulus p where p is greater
than 2^255.
Be an NSA approved product.
A company can sell any product meeting the field of use. Certain
export laws do apply, though, as highlighted in the PLA. Also, a
non-U.S. company may sign an ECC PLA agreement with NSA;
however, such a company must contact NSA's Information Assurance
Directorate (IAD) through the organization in the non-U.S.
company's government that is authorized to handle Information
Assurance (IA) matters.

To receive a draft copy of the PLA, a Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ) document, and to make any additional inquiries, please
contact the NSA/CSS Commercial Solutions Center (NCSC) by email
(IST@nsa.gov), phone (240-373-4163).

You need to learn how to spell.
