The IPsec series of protocols makes use of various cryptographic
algorithms in order to provide security services. The Encapsulating
Security Payload (ESP) and the Authentication Header (AH) provide
two mechanisms for protecting data being sent over an IPsec Security
Association (SA). To ensure interoperability between disparate
implementations, it is necessary to specify a set of
mandatory-to-implement algorithms to ensure that there is at least one
algorithm that all implementations will have available. This document
defines the current set of mandatory-to-implement algorithms for ESP
and AH as well as specifying algorithms that should be implemented
because they may be promoted to mandatory at some future time.
This document is a product of the IP Security Protocol Working Group
of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
