 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories.                                                              

       Title     : Test Cases for HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1

This document provides two sets of test cases for HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1, 
respectively. HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1 are two constructs of the HMAC [HMAC]
message authentication function using the MD5 [MD5] hash function and the 
SHA-1 [SHA] hash function. Both constructs are used by IPSEC [OG,CG] and 
other protocols to authenticate messages.  The test cases and results 
provided in this document are meant to be used as a conformance test for 
HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1 implementations.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-cheng-hmac-test-cases-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
