<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>.  Introduction</span>

   This document proposes the addition of new cipher suites to the
   Transport Layer Security (TLS) [<a href="./rfc5246" title=""The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2"">RFC5246</a>] protocol to support the
   Camellia [<a href="./rfc3713" title=""A Description of the Camellia Encryption Algorithm"">RFC3713</a>] encryption algorithm as a block cipher algorithm,
   adding variants using the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hash
   algorithms [<a href="#ref-FIPS180-3" title=""Secure Hash Standard (SHS)"">FIPS180-3</a>] to the TLS cipher suite portfolio originally
   specified in <a href="./rfc4132">RFC 4132</a> [<a href="./rfc4132" title=""Addition of Camellia Cipher Suites to Transport Layer Security (TLS)"">RFC4132</a>].  This document obsoletes <a href="./rfc4132">RFC 4132</a>.

   The Camellia algorithm and its properties are described in [<a href="./rfc3713" title=""A Description of the Camellia Encryption Algorithm"">RFC3713</a>].

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-1.1" href="#section-1.1">1.1</a>.  Terminology</span>

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [<a href="./rfc2119" title=""Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels"">RFC2119</a>].

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>.  Proposed Cipher Suites</span>

   The cipher suites defined here have the following identifiers:

  CipherSuite TLS_RSA_WITH_CAMELLIA_128_CBC_SHA         = { 0x00,0x41 };

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.1" href="#section-3.1">3.1</a>.  Key Exchange</span>

   The RSA, DHE_RSA, DH_RSA, DHE_DSS, DH_DSS, and DH_anon key exchanges
   are performed as defined in [<a href="./rfc5246" title=""The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2"">RFC5246</a>].

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.2" href="#section-3.2">3.2</a>.  Cipher</span>

   The CAMELLIA_128_CBC cipher suites use Camellia [<a href="./rfc3713" title=""A Description of the Camellia Encryption Algorithm"">RFC3713</a>] in Cipher
   Block Chaining (CBC) mode with a 128-bit key and 128-bit IV; the
   CAMELLIA_256_CBC cipher suites use a 256-bit key and 128-bit IV.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.3" href="#section-3.3">3.3</a>.  Hash and Pseudorandom Function</span>

<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.3.1" href="#section-3.3.1">3.3.1</a>.  Hash and Pseudorandom Function for TLS 1.1</span>

   The cipher suites ending with _SHA use HMAC-SHA1 as the MAC
   algorithm.

   When used with TLS versions prior to 1.2, the pseudorandom function
   (PRF) is calculated as specified in the appropriate version of the
   TLS specification.

<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.3.2" href="#section-3.3.2">3.3.2</a>.  Hash and Pseudorandom Function for TLS 1.2</span>

   The cipher suites ending with _SHA256 use HMAC-SHA-256 as the MAC
   algorithm.  The PRF is the TLS PRF [<a href="./rfc5246" title=""The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2"">RFC5246</a>] with SHA-256 as the hash
   function.  These cipher suites MUST NOT be negotiated by TLS 1.1 or
   earlier versions.  Clients MUST NOT offer these cipher suites if they
   do not offer TLS 1.2 or later.  Servers that select an earlier
   version of TLS MUST NOT select one of these cipher suites.
