AES-CCM Elliptic Curve Cryptography Cipher Suites for TLS
RFC 7251, “AES-CCM Elliptic Curve Cryptography Cipher Suites for TLS”, is an Informational document published in June 2014 by D. McGrew, D. Bailey, M. Campagna, R. Dugal. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo describes the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter and CBC-MAC Mode (CCM) of operation within Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide confidentiality and data-origin authentication. The AES-CCM algorithm is amenable to compact implementations, making it suitable for constrained environments, while at the same time providing a high level of security. The cipher suites defined in this document use Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and are advantageous in networks with limited bandwidth.
