IANA Registry Update for Support of the SEED Cipher Algorithm in Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY)
Jeong, et al. Informational [Page 1]
RFC 5748 MIKEY_SEED August 2010
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
This document updates IANA registries to support the SEED [RFC4269] block cipher algorithm for the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and the Secure Real-time Transport Control Protocol (SRTCP) [RFC3711] in Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) [RFC3830].
1.1. SEED
SEED is a 128-bit symmetric key block cipher that has been developed by KISA (Korea Information Security Agency) and a group of experts since 1998. The input/output block size of SEED is 128-bit, and the key length is also 128-bit. SEED has a 16-round Feistel structure.
2. Additions to MIKEY Payload
This section specifies new code points for the MIKEY [RFC3830] payload to indicate the use of the SEED cipher algorithm for SRTP and SRTCP. There are three applicable modes of running SEED: SEED in Counter Mode (SEED-CTR), SEED in Counter with CBC-MAC Mode (SEED- CCM), and SEED in Galois/Counter Mode (SEED-GCM) Mode. These are defined in [RFC5669].

RFC 5748 MIKEY_SEED August 2010 2.1. Modified Table 6.10.1.b from RFC 3830IANA has amended the sub-registry derived from Table 6.10.1.b of [RFC3830] as follows:
SRTP encr alg | Value
---------------------
NULL | 0
AES-CM | 1
AES-F8 | 2 SEED-CTR | 3 (NEW) SEED-CCM | 4 (NEW) SEED-GCM | 5 (NEW)
2.2. Modified Table 6.10.1.d from RFC 3830
IANA has amended the sub-registry derived from Table 6.10.1.d of [RFC3830] as follows:
SRTP PRF | Value
---------------------
AES-CM | 0
SEED-CTR | 1 (NEW)
3. Security Considerations
No security problem has been found on SEED. SEED is secure against all known attacks including differential cryptanalysis, linear cryptanalysis, and related key attacks. The only known attack is an exhaustive search for the key. For further security considerations, the reader is encouraged to read [SEED-EVAL].
4. IANA Considerations
IANA has amended the indicated sub-registries in Section 2 of the MIKEY [RFC3830] Payload Name registry according to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above.
