Guidelines for Cryptographic Algorithm Agility and Selecting Mandatory-to-Implement Algorithms
Russ Housley · 2015
Many IETF protocols use cryptographic algorithms to provide confidentiality, integrity, authentication, or digital signature.Communicating peers must support a common set of cryptographic algorithms for these mechanisms to work properly.This memo provides guidelines to ensure that protocols have the ability to migrate from one mandatory-to-implement algorithm suite to another over time.
