Abstract

An authenticated encryption algorithm combines encryption andintegrity into a single operation; such algorithms may also bereferred to as combined modes of an encryption cipher or as combinedmode algorithms. This document describes the use of authenticatedencryption algorithms with the Encrypted Payload of the Internet KeyExchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocol.

The use of two specific authenticated encryption algorithms with theIKEv2 Encrypted Payload is also described; these two algorithms arethe Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Galois/Counter Mode (AESGCM) and AES in Counter with CBC-MAC Mode (AES CCM). Additionaldocuments may describe the use of other authenticated encryptionalgorithms with the IKEv2 Encrypted Payload. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
