FHMQV-C
=======
FHMQV (Fully Hashed Menezes-Qu-Vanstone) is an extended, implicitly authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange which has been
-specified in [SEB09]_, correcting issues found in the earlier MQV ([LMQ+98]_) and Hashed MQV ([Kra05]_) algorithms.
+specified in [SEB09]_, correcting issues found in the earlier MQV ([LMQ+98]_) and Hashed MQV ([Kra05]_) algorithms. It
+should be noted that proof of security provided by [SEB09]_ was recently found to be faulty in [LSW+14]_; nevertheless
+it is very unlikely that this has an impact on the security of the algorithm in practise.
The modified algorithm FHMQV-C specified in the same document also provides *Perfect Forward Secrecy* (PFS),
which isn't the case for the simple FHMQV algorithm.
