>This document describes eight Diffie-Hellman groups that can be used
>in conjunction with IETF protocols to provide security for Internet
>communications. The groups allow implementers to use the same groups
>with a variety of security protocols, e.g., SMIME, Secure SHell (SSH),
>Transport Layer Security (TLS), and Internet Key Exchange (IKE).
>
>All of these groups comply in form and structure with relevant
>standards from ISO, ANSI, NIST, and the IEEE. These groups are
>compatible with all IETF standards that make use of Diffie-Hellman or
>Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman cryptography.
>
>These groups and the associated test data are defined by NIST on
>their web site [EX80056A], but have not yet (as of this writing) been
>published in a formal NIST document. Publication of these groups and
>associated test data, as well as describing how to use Diffie-Hellman
>and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman for key agreement in all of the
>protocols cited below, in one RFC, will facilitate development of
>interoperable implementations and support the Federal Information
>Processing Standard (FIPS) validation of
>implementations that make use of these groups. This memo provides
>information for the Internet community.

>INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
>It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution
>of this memo is unlimited.
TLS implementers should see especially section 3.1 and 3.3.
