A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5487 Title: Pre-Shared Key Cipher Suites for TLS with SHA-256/384 and AES Galois Counter Mode Author: M. Badra Status: Standards Track Date: March 2009 Mailbox: badra@isima.fr Pages: 7 Characters: 15537 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-tls-psk-new-mac-aes-gcm-05.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5487.txt RFC 4279 and RFC 4785 describe pre-shared key cipher suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS). However, all those cipher suites use SHA-1 in their Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithm. This document describes a set of pre-shared key cipher suites for TLS that uses stronger digest algorithms (i.e., SHA-256 or SHA-384) and another set that uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois Counter Mode (GCM). [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
