NAME

encraes- AES-CBC encryption algorithm for IPsec

SYNOPSIS

strmod/encraes

DESCRIPTION

The encraes module implements AES, the US Government Advanced Encryption Standard for IPsec. This module uses the cipher-block chaining mode (CBC) pursuant to RFC 2451. The encraes module has the following properties:

Key size

128, 192, or 256 bits. The key length affects the number of rounds performed per cipher block, and therefore affects the speed of the algorithm.

Block Size

128 bits

ATTRIBUTES

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE	ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability	SUNWcryr (32-bit)
	SUNWcryrx (64-bit)
Interface Stability	Evolving
