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.

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].
