The curve secp256k1 is used by the popular Bitcoin software.
Ping?
Blocked on Fedora legal.
Can someone explain how to build a custom RPM which includes chipers fedora cannot ship because of software patents?
Such questions clearly cannot be answered here.
openssl is still crippled in openssl up to 1.0.1e-34. $ openssl ecparam -list_curves secp384r1 : NIST/SECG curve over a 384 bit prime field secp521r1 : NIST/SECG curve over a 521 bit prime field prime256v1: X9.62/SECG curve over a 256 bit prime field I understand there might be legal issues but why does almost _every other_ distribution include all elliptic curves openssl offers? $ openssl ecparam -list_curves | grep -c : 67
I suggest commenting out the symbols from the headers until Fedora Legal is happy...

Matthew : Do you have more informations to do that ?
no news on this?
any update on this issue?
No update yet. Still an active issue.
I had a need to help out a friend's tiny nonprofit with bitcoin so I made a couple small patches to add just this curve to the Fedora package on my desktop machine. I put the patches up here: https://www.bfccomputing.com/downloads/fedora/openssl/secp256k1/ in case they'll help when we do get clearance to roll (whichever decade that is). Aside: I understand the ecc legal landscape changed two weeks ago, for some curves and algorithms. Anyway, I'm specifically not uploading the patches here so there's no chance of Fedora distribution of magic number sequences.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
again: any news on this?
I'm still going back and forth with the lawyers on this. It is an open and active issue.
Any improvements to the situation?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Wow! That's a great news!
Thanks for being patient on this.
Wow, indeed great news - thank you! May I ask how this behaves for RHEL 6 and 7? Or shall I better contact GSS for this (via a ticket)?

spot - thank you for your service (this is tremendously helpful to so many projects).
