This document describes the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) Cipher Algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Mode, with an

within the context of the IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP). 

This document is a product of the IP Security Working Group of the
IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
