The Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group (SECG) was initiated by Certicom Corporation to address the difficulty vendors and users face when building and deploying interoperable security solutions. The SECG is a broad international coalition comprised of leading technology companies and key industry players in the information security industry. The goals of the SECG are to:

• Address the problems of interoperability that are common to today's different cryptographic solutions.
• Enable the effective incorporation of Elliptic Curve Cryptographic (ECC) technology into these various cryptographic solutions.
• Serve to provide more efficient digital certificate structures and public-key infrastructure definitions than are currently available.
• Provide the critical standardization necessary for widespread deployment of ECC in the general public-key infrastructure as well as in processing power-constrained devices, such as PDAs and smart cards.
• Support the ANSI, IEEE, IETF and ISO standards organizations in their development of advanced cryptographic standards.

The standards and guidelines released by the SECG will be publicly available.
