+	    Add support for ISO oids 1.3.14.3.2.29 and 1.3.14.3.2.27
+	    that are somtimes used instead of the PKCS defined oids
+	    1.2.840.113549.1.1.5 and 1.2.840.10040.4.3. Add function
+	    pkix_sign_types:/1 that translates oids to to algorithm
+	    atoms ex:</p>
+          <p>
+	    > public_key:pkix_sign_types({1,3,14,3,2,29}). {sha,rsa}</p>

+	    Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas
+	    Schultz </p>
+          <p>
+	    In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher
+	    suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve
+	    infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.</p>
+          <p>
+	    This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to
+	    gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP
+	    applications using crypto has been updated to use the new
+	    API.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers
+	    equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other
+	    public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in
+	    savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational
+	    cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained
+	    environments.</p>
