RFC 3537 Title: Wrapping a Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) key with a Triple-Data Encryption Standard (DES) Key or an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Key Author(s): J. Schaad, R. Housley Status: Standards Track Date: May 2003 Mailbox: jimsch@exmsft.com, housley@vigilsec.com Pages: 9 Characters: 16885 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-smime-hmac-key-wrap-02.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3537.txt This document defines two methods for wrapping an HMAC (Hashed Message Authentication Code) key. The first method defined uses a Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard) key to encrypt the HMAC key. The second method defined uses an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) key to encrypt the HMAC key. One place that such an algorithm is used is for the Authenticated Data type in CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax). This document is a product of the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. 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.
