I am trying to write a simulation of the SPAKE2 protocol in python (just so I can get a better understanding of the protocol altogether). I am reading through the ietf draft here: Datatracker.
There's a lot about cryptography I do not understand though and I am having trouble figuring out how to generate some of the values mentioned in the setup. Here is the excerpt I am talking about:
Let G be a group in which the computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem is hard. Suppose G has order p*h where p is a large prime; h will be called the cofactor. Let I be the unit element in G, e.g., the point at infinity if G is an elliptic curve group. We denote the operations in the group additively. We assume there is a representation of elements of G as byte strings: common choices would be SEC1 compressed [SEC1] for elliptic curve groups or big endian integers of a fixed (pergroup) length for prime field DH. We fix two elements M and N in the prime-order subgroup of G as defined in the table in this document for common groups, as well as a generator P of the (large) prime-order subgroup of G. P is specified in the document defining the group, and so we do not repeat it here.
More specifically, I don't know how to generate G, p, h, M, N, or P and I don't have the mathematical understanding to know exactly what those values are supposed to be. I would really appreciate any help or guidance.
