11.3. AEAD Identifiers​

The "HPKE AEAD Identifiers" registry lists identifiers for authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) algorithms defined for use with HPKE. These identifiers are two-byte values, so the maximum possible value is 0xFFFF = 65535.

Template:

  • Value: The two-byte identifier for the algorithm
  • AEAD: The name of the algorithm
  • Nk: The length in bytes of a key for this algorithm
  • Nn: The length in bytes of a nonce for this algorithm
  • Nt: The length in bytes of an authentication tag for this algorithm
  • Reference: Where this algorithm is defined
