A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6655 Title: AES-CCM Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS) Author: D. McGrew, D. Bailey Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: July 2012 Mailbox: mcgrew@cisco.com, dbailey@rsa.com Pages: 8 Characters: 17052 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-mcgrew-tls-aes-ccm-04.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6655.txt This memo describes the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter with Cipher Block Chaining - Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) Mode (CCM) of operation within Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram TLS (DTLS) to provide confidentiality and data origin authentication. The AES-CCM algorithm is amenable to compact implementations, making it suitable for constrained environments. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
