RFC 5649: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Key Wrap with Padding Algorithm
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This document specifies a padding convention for use with the AES Key Wrap algorithm specified in RFC 3394. This convention eliminates the requirement that the length of the key to be wrapped be a multiple of 64 bits, allowing a key of any practical length to be wrapped. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
