A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Security Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Cryptographic Algorithm Implementation Requirements For ESP And AH
	Author(s)	: D. Eastlake 3rd

The IPSEC series of protocols makes use of various cryptographic
    algorithms in order to provide security services. The Encapsulating
    Security Payload (ESP) and the Authentication Header (AH) provide two
    mechanisms for protecting data being sent over an IPSEC Security
    Association (SA).  To ensure interoperability between disparate
    implementations it is necessary to specify a set of mandatory to
    implement algorithms to ensure at least one algorithm that all
    implementations will have available. This document defines the
    current set of mandatory to implement algorithms for ESP and AH as
    well as specifying algorithms that should be implemented because they
    may be promoted to mandatory at some future time.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
