The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'UMAC: Message Authentication Code using Universal Hashing '
<draft-krovetz-umac-07.txt> as an Informational RFC
This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an
IETF Working Group.
The IESG contact person is Russ Housley.

Technical Summary
This specification describes how to generate an authentication tag
using the UMAC message authentication algorithm. UMAC is designed to
be very fast to compute in software on contemporary uniprocessors.
Measured speeds are as low as one cycle per byte. UMAC relies on
addition of 32-bit and 64-bit numbers and multiplication of 32-bit
numbers; all of these operations are well-supported by contemporary
computers.
Working Group Summary
This document is not affiliated with any working group; however, the
document received considerable review and comment on the CFRG mailing
list. The document was updated to reflect the discussion.
Protocol Quality
At least one implementation exists.
See http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/umac/.
Note to RFC Editor
Please replace the first paragraph of the Introduction as follows:
OLD:
UMAC is a message authentication algorithm (MAC) designed for high
performance. It it backed by a rigorous formal analysis and there
are no intellectual property claims made to any ideas used in its
design.
NEW:
UMAC is a message authentication algorithm (MAC) designed for high
performance. It is backed by a rigorous formal analysis and there
are no intellectual property claims made by any of the authors to
any ideas used in its design.
