The AES-CMAC Algorithm

Overview

RFC 4493, “The AES-CMAC Algorithm”, is an Informational document published in June 2006 by JH. Song, R. Poovendran, J. Lee, T. Iwata. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

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) submitted by Iwata and Kurosawa. This memo specifies an authentication algorithm based on CMAC with the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This new authentication algorithm is named AES-CMAC. The purpose of this document is to make the AES-CMAC algorithm conveniently available to the Internet Community. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
