Abstract

This document defines several new cipher suites for version 1.2 ofthe Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol and version 1.2 of theDatagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. These ciphersuites are based on the Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman withPre-Shared Key (ECDHE_PSK) key exchange together with theAuthenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) algorithmsAES-GCM and AES-CCM. PSK provides light and efficient authentication,ECDHE provides forward secrecy, and AES-GCM and AES-CCM provideencryption and integrity protection.
