Reply-To: ietf@ietf.org

The IESG has received a request from the CURves, Deprecating and a Little
more Encryption WG (curdle) to consider the following document:
- 'Using ChaCha20-Poly1305 Authenticated Encryption in the Cryptographic
Message Syntax (CMS)'
<draft-ietf-curdle-cms-chacha20-poly1305-04.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-12-16. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

This document describes the conventions for using ChaCha20-Poly1305
Authenticated Encryption in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).
ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an authenticated encryption algorithm
constructed of the ChaCha stream cipher and Poly1305 authenticator.
