Abstract:
This Internet Draft is a standards track proposal to update the
Cryptographic Algorithm Implementation Requirements for ESP and AH;
it also adds usage guidance to help in the selection of these
algorithms.
The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and Authentication Header
(AH) protocols make use of various cryptographic algorithms to
provide confidentiality and/or data origin authentication to
protected data communications in the IP Security (IPsec)
architecture. To ensure interoperability between disparate
implementations, the IPsec standard specifies a set of mandatory-to-
implement algorithms. This document specifies the current set of
mandatory-to-implement algorithms for ESP and AH, specifies
algorithms that should be implemented because they may be promoted to
mandatory at some future time, and also recommends against the
implementation of some obsolete algorithms. Usage guidance is also
provided to help the user of ESP and AH best achieve their security
goals through appropriate choices of cryptographic algorithms.
This document obsoletes RFC 4835.
