A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 4494 Title: The AES-CMAC-96 Algorithm and Its Use with IPsec Author: JH. Song, R. Poovendran, J. Lee Status: Standards Track Date: June 2006 Mailbox: songlee@ee.washington.edu, radha@ee.washington.edu, jicheol.lee@samsung.com Pages: 8 Characters: 14992 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-songlee-aes-cmac-96-04.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4494.txt The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently specified the Cipher-based Message Authentication Code (CMAC), which is equivalent to the One-Key CBC-MAC1 (OMAC1) algorithm submitted by Iwata and Kurosawa. OMAC1 efficiently reduces the key size of Extended Cipher Block Chaining mode (XCBC). This memo specifies the use of CMAC mode as an authentication mechanism of the IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and the Authentication Header (AH) protocols. This new algorithm is named AES-CMAC-96. [STANDARDS TRACK] This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: 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 should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.
