+## Retry Packet Integrity {#retry-integrity}
+
+Retry packets (see the Retry Packet section of {{QUIC-TRANSPORT}}) carry a
+Retry Integrity Tag that provides two properties: it allows discarding
+packets that have accidentally been corrupted by the network, and it mitigates
+off-path attackers' ability to send valid Retry packets.
+
+The Retry Integrity Tag is a 128-bit field that is computed as the output of
+AEAD_AES_128_GCM {{!AEAD=RFC5116}} used with the following inputs:
+
+- The secret key, K, is 128 bits all set to zero.
+- The nonce, N, is 96 bits all set to zero.
+- The plaintext is empty.
+- The associated data is the contents of the Retry Pseudo-Packet, as described

Fine by me. Can you suggest another verb?
