The IESG has approved following document:

- 'The AES-XCBC-PRF-128 algorithm for IKE '
   <draft-ietf-ipsec-aes-xcbc-prf-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the IP Security Protocol Working Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Russ Housley and Steve Bellovin.

Technical Summary

  Some implementations of IPsec may want to use a pseudo-random function
  derived from AES.  This document describes such an algorithm, called
  AES-XCBC-PRF-128.

Working Group Summary

  The IPsec Working Group came to consensus on this document.

Protocol Quality
