The IESG has approved the following document: - 'AES Galois Counter Mode for the Secure Shell Transport Layer Protocol ' <draft-igoe-secsh-aes-gcm-03.txt> as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Tim Polk. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-igoe-secsh-aes-gcm-03.txt Technical Summary The Secure Shell (SSH) secure remote-login protocol is specified in RFC 4251. SSH employs cryptographic algorithms to provide authentication, key agreement, confidentiality and data integrity. This document specifies the conventions for using AES-GCM, the Advanced Encryption Standard in the Galois/Counter Mode, to provide both confidentiality and data integrity. Working Group Summary This document is not the product of any IETF working group. Document Quality This document documents the conventions for using AES-GCM with Secure Shell Transport Layer Protocol. The people that want to make use of this mode seem to have consensus. Personnel Russ Housley is the Document Shepherd for this document. Tim Polk is the Responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
