Abstract
The purpose of this document is to make the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) Key Wrap algorithm conveniently available to the
Internet community. The United States of America has adopted AES as
the new encryption standard. The AES Key Wrap algorithm will
probably be adopted by the USA for encryption of AES keys. The
authors took most of the text in this document from the draft AES Key
Wrap posted by NIST.
