Using GOST Ciphers in the Encapsulating Security Payload and Internet Key Exchange Version 2 Protocols

Overview

RFC 9227, “Using GOST Ciphers in the Encapsulating Security Payload and Internet Key Exchange Version 2 Protocols”, is an Informational document published in March 2022 by V. Smyslov. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines a set of encryption transforms for use in the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and in the Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocols, which are parts of the IP Security (IPsec) protocol suite. The transforms are based on the GOST R 34.12-2015 block ciphers (which are named "Magma" and "Kuznyechik") in Multilinear Galois Mode (MGM) and the external rekeying approach.

This specification was developed to facilitate implementations that wish to support the GOST algorithms. This document does not imply IETF endorsement of the cryptographic algorithms used in this document.
