Subject: Results of IETF-conflict review for draft-kiyomoto-kcipher2-09

The IESG has completed a review of draft-kiyomoto-kcipher2-09 consistent
with RFC5742.


The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'A Description of
KCipher-2 Encryption Algorithm'  as an
Informational RFC.



The IESG has concluded that there is no conflict between this document
and IETF work.



The IESG would also like the RFC-Editor to review the comments in the
datatracker related to this document and determine whether or not they
merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the
ballot and the history log.

The IESG review is documented at:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/conflict-review-kiyomoto-kcipher2/

A URL of the reviewed Internet Draft is:

The process for such documents is described at

Thank you,

The IESG Secretary

The draft's abstract says
"This document describes the KCipher-2 encryption algorithm. KCipher-2
is a stream cipher with a 128-bit key and a 128-bit initialization
vector. Since the algorithm for KCipher-2 was published in 2007,
security and efficiency have been rigorously evaluated through
academic and industrial studies. No security vulnerability has been
found as of the time this document was written. KCipher-2 offers fast
encryption and decryption by means of simple operations that enable
efficient implementation. KCipher-2 has been used for industrial
applications, especially for mobile health monitoring and diagnostic
services in Japan."

It was reviewed for me by Jim Schaad, we have worked with the authors
through versions -05 to -08 to improve it, -09 simply changes its expiry
date.

Thanks, Nevil (ISE)
