Technical Summary

   This document describes the use of the Camellia block cipher
   algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, Counter (CTR) mode and
   Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) mode, as an IPsec Encapsulating Security
   Payload (ESP) mechanism to provide confidentiality, data origin
   authentication, and connectionless integrity.

   integrity.

NEW

   This document describes the use of the Camellia block cipher
   algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, Counter (CTR) mode,
   and Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) mode, as additional, optional
