AVT experts,

Let me make a request for the AVT WG review
on the draft regarding ARIA cipher algorithm and its use with SRTP.

ARIA is a general-purpose block cipher algorithm developed in 2003
and is published as a RFC (RFC 5794) in March 2010.

As you know, there is another standard block cipher SEED in Korea
and SEED-SRTP is published as a RFC in August 2010.
Both SEED and ARIA were established as KS(Korean Standard)
by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy of Korea.
While SEED is mainly used for for electronic commerce and financial service,
ARIA is for government use and public purpose.

For example, ARIA is used by the followings in Korea.
- Korea e-Government
- electronic identification card
- National Police Agency
- Ministry of Health and Welfare
- Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

In particular, ARIA will be used in VoIP for government
and many international VoIP vendors are developing products supporting ARIA.

We believe it increases the demand for standardization of protocols related
to ARIA.

Please find the internet draft from the below.
