1. Introduction
    1.1. Project/Component Working Name:
         AES CCM mode
    1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier:
         Author:  Karen Tung
    1.3  Date of This Document:

4. Technical Description

This document proposes the addition of AES CCM mode to the
kernel AES software provider in Solaris.

The AES CCM implementation will comform to the requirements specified
in the National Institue of Standards and Technology (NIST)
AES CCM specification and RFC3610.

The formating and counter generation functions used in this
CCM implementation is the one specified in Appendix A of the
NIST document and RFC3610.  This implementation also enforces
all the length requirements for inputs as specified in the specs.

Here are the links to the 2 specifications:

The Interface taxonomy is Consolidation Private.
The Release taxonomy is Patch/Micro.

Diff-marked draft manpages, k-api design, and header files are
included in the case directory. Timeout is set to May xx, 2007.

4.0 Background

Currently, the kernel AES software provider in Solaris offers
ECB, CBC, and counter modes of operation.  It does not offer
CCM mode. AES CCM mode is needed by the ZFS Crypto project.
So, it needs to be added to the kernel AES software module.

4.1 Proposal

This document proposes the addition of CCM mode to the existing kernel
AES software provider.

4.1.1 Compatibility

The name of the mechanism is "CKM_AES_CCM". The name has been reserved
by RSA for use by PKCS#11 when AES CCM mode appears
in a future revision of the spec.

4.2 Bug/RFE Number(s): 6550326
