The IESG has received a request from the Transport Layer Security WG (tls) to consider the following document: - 'ChaCha20-Poly1305 Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS)' <draft-ietf-tls-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 2016-04-05. 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 use of the ChaCha stream cipher and Poly1305 authenticator in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocols. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-chacha20-poly1305/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-chacha20-poly1305/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. I-D nits notes that the abstract doesn't mention the two RFCs being updated. That is a useful practice (in case someone only sees the abstract) so we'll fix it after IETF LC. This draft normatively references RFCs 4492, 5489 and 7539 which are algorithm definitions. If needed we will put those in the DownRef registry after this last call concludes.
