1. Introduction
This document specifies cipher suites for the Transport Layer
Security (TLS) [RFC5246] protocol to support the ARIA [RFC5794]
encryption algorithm as a block cipher algorithm. The cipher suites
include variants using the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hash
functions and ARIA Galois counter mode. Elliptic curve cipher suites
and pre-shared key (PSK) cipher suites are also defined.
The cipher suites with SHA-1 are not included in this document. Due
to recent analytic work on SHA-1 [Wang05], the IETF is gradually
moving away from SHA-1 and towards stronger hash algorithms.
1.1. ARIA
ARIA is a general-purpose block cipher algorithm developed by Korean
cryptographers in 2003. It is an iterated block cipher with 128-,
192-, and 256-bit keys and encrypts 128-bit blocks in 12, 14, and 16
rounds, depending on the key size. It is secure and suitable for
most software and hardware implementations on 32-bit and 8-bit
processors. It was established as a Korean standard block cipher
algorithm in 2004 [ARIAKS] and has been widely used in Korea,
especially for government-to-public services. It was included in
PKCS #11 in 2007 [ARIAPKCS]. The algorithm specification and object
identifiers are described in [RFC5794].

1.2. Terminology
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 [RFC2119].
2. Proposed Cipher Suites
2.1. HMAC-Based Cipher Suites

Chaining (CBC) mode with a SHA-2 family Hashed Message Authentication
Code (HMAC). Eight out of twenty use elliptic curves.

those in the previous section but use the authenticated encryption
modes defined in TLS 1.2 with the ARIA in Galois Counter Mode (GCM)
[GCM].

3. Cipher Suite Definitions
3.1. Key Exchange
The RSA, DHE_RSA, DH_RSA, DHE_DSS, DH_DSS, DH_anon, ECDH, and ECDHE
key exchanges are performed as defined in [RFC5246].
3.2. Cipher
The ARIA_128_CBC cipher suites use ARIA [RFC5794] in CBC mode with a
128-bit key and 128-bit Initialization Vector (IV); the ARIA_256_CBC
cipher suites use a 256-bit key and 128-bit IV.
AES-authenticated encryption with additional data algorithms,
AEAD_AES_128_GCM, and AEAD_AES_256_GCM are described in [RFC5116].
AES GCM cipher suites for TLS are described in [RFC5288]. AES and
ARIA share common characteristics, including key sizes and block
length. ARIA_128_GCM and ARIA_256_GCM are defined according to those
characteristics of AES.
3.3. PRFs
The pseudorandom functions (PRFs) SHALL be as follows:
a. For cipher suites ending with _SHA256, the PRF is the TLS PRF
[RFC5246] using SHA-256 as the hash function.
b. For cipher suites ending with _SHA384, the PRF is the TLS PRF
[RFC5246] using SHA-384 as the hash function.
3.4. PSK Cipher Suites
Pre-shared key cipher suites for TLS are described in [RFC4279],
[RFC4785], [RFC5487], and [RFC5489].
4. Security Considerations
At the time of writing this document, no security problems have been
found on ARIA (see [YWL]).
The security considerations in the following RFCs apply to this
document as well: [RFC4279] [RFC4785] [RFC5116] [RFC5288] [RFC5289]
[RFC5487] and [GCM].
