The Advanced Encryption Standard-Cipher-based Message Authentication Code-Pseudo-Random Function-128 Algorithm for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol

Overview

RFC 4615, “The Advanced Encryption Standard-Cipher-based Message Authentication Code-Pseudo-Random Function-128 Algorithm for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2006 by J. Song, R. Poovendran, J. Lee, T. Iwata. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Some implementations of IP Security (IPsec) may want to use a pseudo-random function (PRF) based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This memo describes such an algorithm, called AES-CMAC-PRF-128. It supports fixed and variable key sizes. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
