AES-CCM Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security
RFC 6655, “AES-CCM Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2012 by D. McGrew, D. Bailey. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
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]
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.
