Advanced Encryption Standard Key Wrap with Padding Algorithm
RFC 5649, “Advanced Encryption Standard Key Wrap with Padding Algorithm”, is an Informational document published in September 2009 by R. Housley, M. Dworkin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a padding convention for use with the AES Key Wrap algorithm specified in RFC 3394. This convention eliminates the requirement that the length of the key to be wrapped be a multiple of 64 bits, allowing a key of any practical length to be wrapped. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
