IETF RFC 2410
The NULL Encryption Algorithm and Its Use With IPsec
Organization: | IETF |
Publication Date: | 1 November 1998 |
Status: | active |
Page Count: | 6 |
scope:
This memo defines the NULL encryption algorithm and its use with the IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP). NULL does nothing to alter plaintext data. In fact, NULL, by itself, does nothing. NULL provides the means for ESP to provide authentication and integrity without confidentiality.
Further information on the other components necessary for ESP implementations is provided by [ESP] and [ROAD].
