Subject: response to comments on NIST SP800-38B


NIST received several thoughtful public comments on the draft NIST Special
Publication 800-38B specifying RMAC as a recommended MAC algorithm for use
with either AES and Triple DES.  In response to the comments, NIST has
posted a consultation paper at http://csrc.nist.gov/CryptoToolkit/modes/,
with a link to the paper under the heading "NIST Recommendation for
Modes."  The paper summarizes the technical issues underlying the selection
of a block cipher based MAC and proposes to refocus the RMAC specification
to its underlying EMAC construction.


Further comments on the draft SP 800-38B and the consultation paper may be
submitted to EncryptionModes@xxxxxxxx until May 5, 2003.
