    with the Poly1305 authenticator, combined into an AEAD algorithm
    for both IKEv2 and IPsec.

Working Group Summary

    The document was discussed fairly well in the WG, both as an
    individual draft and then as a WG document. The WG Last Call
    elicited good review and changes to the document during,
    and after, the WG Last Call.
