Re: Generic CBC-MAC specification



Hi Ben, Dan,

	I'm a bit confused why you feel we need a document to describe
how to do generic CBC MAC's.  Given that how you do DES MAC's and 3DES
MAC's are relatively well understood and documented in books like
Applied Cryptography, do we really need to have a document to describe
this?  Is there actually concern that 3DES MAC isn't well defined enough
such that we can not unambiguously reference other standards or texts to
define what we mean by this?
