Technical Summary

   This document addresses two omissions in the Secure Frames (SFrame)
   protocol specification.  First, the definition of the IANA registry
   for SFrame ciphersuites omits several important fields.  This
   document requests that IANA add those fields and defines the contents
   of those fields for current entries.  Second, the AEAD construction
   based on AES-CTR and HMAC is defined only for the 128-bit security
   level.  This document registers parallel constructions at the 256-bit
   security level.

Working Group Summary

This is an AD sponsored draft, so there was no 'working group'.  There 
was some review on the [email protected] list which refined the IANA registry 
changes. 
Since this is a narrowly scoped change to IANA registries the review was 
sufficient.

Document Quality

There is a desire by Apple to be able to use the cipher suites being added.  
They 
may be implemented already.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Orie Steele. The Responsible
   Area Director is Deb Cooley.
