The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TLS Elliptic Curve Cipher Suites with SHA-256/384 and AES Galois Counter Mode ' <draft-ietf-tls-ecc-new-mac-07.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Pasi Eronen and Tim Polk. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-ecc-new-mac-07.txt Technical Summary This document describes new ECC cipher suites for TLS which specify stronger MAC algorithms. Eight use HMAC with SHA-256 or SHA-384 and eight use AES in Galois Counter Mode (GCM). Working Group Summary This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Working Group. The document represents the consensus of the TLS working group. Document Quality There has been significant review of the document by members of the TLS working group on the document and changes were made to improve the document based on these reviews. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Joseph Salowey, and the responsible Area Director is Pasi Eronen. RFC Editor Note In document title, expand "GCM" to "Galois Counter Mode (GCM)" Abstract: OLD: However, all those cipher suites use SHA-1 as their MAC algorithm. This document describes sixteen new cipher suites for TLS which specify stronger digest algorithms. NEW: However, all those cipher suites use HMAC-SHA1 as their MAC algorithm. This document describes sixteen new cipher suites for TLS which specify stronger MAC algorithms. Section 3.1 OLD: These eight cipher suites are the same as the corresponding cipher suites in RFC 4492 (with names ending in "_SHA" in place of "_SHA256" or "_SHA384"), except for the hash and PRF algorithms. NEW: These eight cipher suites are the same as the corresponding cipher suites in RFC 4492 (with names ending in "_SHA" in place of "_SHA256" or "_SHA384"), except for the MAC and PRF algorithms. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
