RFC 5903, "Elliptic Curve Groups modulo a Prime (ECP Groups) for IKE and IKEv2", June 2010

Source of RFC: IETF - NON WORKING GROUP
Area Assignment: sec

Errata ID: 5764

Section 8 says:

Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 say "We suppose
that the response Diffie-Hellman private key is:"

It should say:

"We suppose that the responder's Diffie-Hellman private key is:"

Notes:

While the text did not cause me any problems in testing my P-256 implementation, it did initially confuse me. IKE has initiator and responder. The way the text is currently phrased, it seems as if the private key is sent in response to a message from the initiator.
