Hello Steffan,

Thank you for the links. How should I interpret this?

*GCM IV format:*
[ - packet ID - ] [ - HMAC key data - ]
This would be a 4 byte packet ID combined with 8 byte HMAC key data to form
a 12 byte IV? Does the TLS negotiation deliver an 8 byte HMAC key in this
mode or is only part of the HMAC key used (and if so: which part)?

*P_DATA_V1 GCM data channel crypto format:*
[ opcode ] [ - packet ID - ] [ TAG ] [ * packet payload * ]
I read this as 1 byte opcode, 4 byte packet ID, 16 byte TAG, payload data
(no padding, contrary to AES-CBC mode), and where AES-CBC encrypts the
packet ID, AES-GCM only authenticates this field. Is this correct?

*P_DATA_V2 GCM data channel crypto format:*
[ - opcode/peer-id - ] [ - packet ID - ] [ TAG ] [ * packet payload * ]This
is the same as V1, with the 3 byte peer-id field added?

Kind regards,
Pieter Hulshoff
